U.S. - Africa Trade; U.S. Textile and Apparel Importers' Reactions to Trade Preference Options

This report provides information on how major U.S. importers of textile and apparel might react to providing trade preferences to sub-Saharan Africa but does not address whether any of the discussed trade preference approaches would promote economic growth and development in the region. It also does not address the possible impact of increased sub-Saharan African textile and apparel imports on U.S. consumers and producers nor whether the potential increased trade with the region might represent diversion of trade from other countries or regions. Appendix IV discusses our scope and methodology in further detail.
