FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS CAFTA-DR Dominican Republic 2 for 1 Earned Import Allowance Program The Earned Import Allowance Program (EIA) provides duty-free entry from the Dominican Republic into the United States for certain apparel. For every two square meter equivalent (SME) of apparel assembled using U.S. yarn and fabric allows one SME to enter the U.S. duty-free using third party yarn and fabric. Scheduled Expiration of the Dominican Republic Earned Import Allowance Program (DR 2-for-1): The Dominican Republic Earned Import Allowance Program (DR 2-for-1) was established as an amendment to the CAFTA-DR, under the Andean Trade Preference Extension Act of 2008 and became effective on December 1, 2008, for a 10-year period. The 10-year period is set to expire on December 1, 2018. Entries of qualifying apparel under the DR 2-for-1 program may only qualify for duty-free treatment under the CAFTA-DR prior to the date of expiration. Entries on or after December 1, 2018, may no longer use allowances to qualify for duty free treatment under the DR 2-for-1 program.
