1.This Act may be cited as the
United States Optimal Use of Trade to
Develop Outerwear and Outdoor Recreation Act
or the
U.S. OUTDOOR
Act
.
2.Congress finds the following:
(1)The outdoor
industry contributes $730,000,000,000 to the United States economy
annually.
(2)Outdoor activities
are vitally important to the health and well-being of the people of the United
States.
(3)Duty rates on
recreational performance apparel are among the highest duty rates imposed by
the United States Government, with duties on some recreational performance
apparel as high as 28.2 percent.
(4)The duties
currently imposed by the United States on recreational performance apparel were
set in an era during which high rates of duty were intended to protect the
production of other apparel in the United States, and before the technologies
and innovations that create today's recreational performance apparel industry
were developed.
(5)In July 2007, the
United States International Trade Commission confirmed in USITC Publication
3937 that recreational performance apparel produced in the United States makes
up less than 1 percent of the total recreational performance apparel market and
therefore concluded that there is no commercially viable production of
recreational performance apparel in the United States.
(6)On November 1,
2005, the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements confirmed in
the Federal Register that imports of certain recreational performance apparel
do not contribute to domestic market disruption or adversely affect United
States textile and apparel producers (70 Fed. Reg. 65889).
(7)The elimination of
duties on the importation of certain recreational performance apparel would
provide an economic benefit to United States consumers of outdoor products and
would promote increased participation in healthy and active lifestyles.
3.Knit apparel and
accessories
(a)The
Additional U.S. Note to Chapter 61 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States is amended—

composed of knit fabrics of cotton, wool, hemp, bamboo, silk, or manmade fiber,
or a combination of such fibers, that are either water-resistant or visibly
coated, or both, with critically sealed seams, and with 5 or more of the
following features:
(i)Insulation for
cold weather protection.
(ii)Pockets, at least
one of which has a zippered, hook and loop, or other type of closure.
(iii)Elastic,
drawcord, or other means of tightening around the waist or leg hems, including
hidden leg sleeves with a means of tightening at the ankle for trousers and

recreational performance outerwear does not include occupational
outerwear or garments with an outer surface of looped pile.(b)For purposes of
this Note, the following terms have the following meanings:
(i)The term
water-resistant means that a garment must have a water resistance
(see ASTM designations D 3779–81 and D 7017) such that, under a head pressure
of 600 millimeters, not more than 1.0 gram of water penetrates after two
minutes when tested in accordance with the current version of AATCC Test Method
35. The water resistance of the garment is the result of a rubber or plastics
application to the outer shell, lining, or inner lining.
(ii)The term
visibly coated refers to fabric that is impregnated, coated,
covered, or laminated with plastics, such as fabrics described in Note 2 to
chapter 59.
(iii)The term
sealed seams means seams that have been covered by means of
taping, gluing, bonding, cementing, fusing, welding, or a similar process so
that water cannot pass through the seams when tested in accordance with the
current version of AATCC Test Method 35.
(iv)The term
critically sealed seams means—
(A)for jackets,
sealed seams that are sealed at the front and back yokes, or at the shoulders,
arm holes, or both, where applicable; and
(B)for trousers,
sealed seams that are sealed at the front (up to the zipper or other means of
closure) and back rise.
(v)The term
insulation for cold weather protection means insulation with
either synthetic fill, down, a laminated thermal backing, or other lining for
thermal protection from cold weather.
(vi)The term
venting refers to closeable or permanent constructed openings in a
garment (excluding front, primary zipper closures and grommet(s)) to allow
increased expulsion of built-up heat during outdoor activities. In a jacket,
such openings are often positioned on the underarm seam of a garment but may
also be placed along other seams in the front or back of a garment. In
trousers, such openings are often positioned on the inner or outer leg seams of
a garment but may also be placed along other seams in the front or back of a
garment.
(vii)The term
articulated elbows or knees refers to the construction of a sleeve
(or pant leg) to allow improved mobility at the elbow (or knee) through the use
of extra seams, darts, gussets, or other means.
(viii)The term
reinforcement refers to the use of a double layer of fabric or
section(s) of fabric that is abrasion-resistant or otherwise more durable than
the face fabric of the garment.
(ix)The term
weatherproof closure means a closure (including, but not limited
to, laminated or coated zippers, storm flaps, or other weatherproof
construction) that has been reinforced or engineered in a manner to reduce the
penetration or absorption of moisture or air through an opening in the
garment.
(x)The term
multi-adjustable hood or adjustable collar means a draw cord,
adjustment tab, or elastic incorporated into the hood or collar construction to
allow volume adjustments around a helmet, the crown of the head, neck, or
face.
(xi)The terms
adjustable powder skirt and inner protective skirt
refer to a partial lower inner lining with means of tightening around the waist
for additional protection from the elements.
(xii)The term
arm gusset means construction at the arm of a gusset that utilizes
an extra fabric piece in the under arm usually diamond- or triangular-shaped,
design, or pattern to allow radial arm movement.
(xiii)The term
radial arm movement refers to unrestricted, 180-degree range of
motion for the arm while wearing performance outerwear.
(xiv)The term
odor control technology means an additive in a fabric or garment
capable of adsorbing, absorbing, or reacting with human odors, or effective in
reducing odor-causing bacteria, including but not limited to activated carbon,
silver, copper, or any combination thereof.
(xv)The term
occupational outerwear means outerwear garments, including
uniforms, designed or marketed for use in the workplace or at a worksite to
provide durable protection from cold or inclement weather and/or workplace
hazards, such as fire, electrical, abrasion, or chemical hazards, or impacts,
cuts, punctures, or similar hazards.
3.For purposes of
this chapter, the importer of record shall specify upon entry whether garments
claimed as recreational performance outerwear have an outer surface that is
water-resistant, visibly coated, or a combination thereof, and shall further
enumerate the specific features that make the garments eligible to be
classified as recreational performance
outerwear.

The term
recreational performance outerwear does not include occupational
outerwear.(b)For purposes of
this Note, the following terms have the following meanings:
(i)The term
water-resistant means that a garment must have a water resistance
(see ASTM designations D 3779–81 and D 7017) such that, under a head pressure
of 600 millimeters, not more than 1.0 gram of water penetrates after two
minutes when tested in accordance with the current version of AATCC Test Method
35. The water resistance of the garment is the result of a rubber or plastics
application to the outer shell, lining, or inner lining.
(ii)The term
visibly coated refers to fabric that is impregnated, coated,
covered, or laminated with plastics, such as fabrics described in Note 2 to
chapter 59.
(iii)The term
sealed seams means seams that have been covered by means of
taping, gluing, bonding, cementing, fusing, welding, or a similar process so
that water cannot pass through the seams when tested in accordance with the
current version of AATCC Test Method 35.
(iv)The term
critically sealed seams means seams’ that are sealed—
(A)for jackets, at
the front and back yokes, or at the shoulders, arm holes, or both, where
applicable; and
(B)for trousers, at
the front (up to the zipper or other means of closure) and back rise.
(v)The term
insulation for cold weather protection means insulation with
either synthetic fill, down, a laminated thermal backing, or other lining for
thermal protection from cold weather.
(vi)The term
venting refers to closeable or permanent constructed openings in a
garment (excluding front, primary zipper closures and grommet(s)) to allow
increased expulsion of built-up heat during outdoor activities. In a jacket,
such openings are often positioned on the underarm seam of a garment but may
also be placed along other seams in the front or back of a garment. In
trousers, such openings are often positioned on the inner or outer leg seams of
a garment but may also be placed along other seams in the front or back of a
garment.
(vii)The term
articulated elbows or knees refers to the construction of a sleeve
(or pant leg) to allow improved mobility at the elbow (or knee) through the use
of extra seams, darts, gussets, or other means.
(viii)The term
reinforcement refers to the use of a double layer of fabric or
section(s) of fabric that is abrasion-resistant or otherwise more durable than
the face fabric of the garment.
(ix)The term
weatherproof closure means a closure (including, but not limited
to, laminated or coated zippers, storm flaps, or other weatherproof
construction) that has been reinforced or engineered in a manner to reduce the
penetration or absorption of moisture or air through an opening in the
garment.
(x)The term
multi-adjustable hood or adjustable collar means a draw cord,
adjustment tab, or elastic incorporated into the hood or collar construction to
allow volume adjustments around a helmet, the crown of the head, neck, or
face.
(xi)The terms
adjustable powder skirt and inner protective skirt
refer to a partial lower inner lining with means of tightening around the waist
for additional protection from the elements.
(xii)The term
arm gusset means construction at the arm of a gusset that utilizes
an extra fabric piece in the under arm usually diamond- or triangular-shaped,
design, or pattern to allow radial arm movement.
(xiii)The term
radial arm movement refers to unrestricted, 180-degree range of
motion for the arm while wearing performance outerwear.
(xiv)The term
odor control technology means an additive in a fabric or garment
capable of adsorbing, absorbing, or reacting with human odors, or effective in
reducing odor-causing bacteria, including but not limited to activated carbon,
silver, copper, or any combination thereof.
(xv)The term
occupational outerwear means outerwear garments, including
uniforms, designed or marketed for use in the workplace or at a worksite to
provide durable protection from cold or inclement weather and/or workplace
hazards, such as fire, electrical, abrasion, or chemical hazards, or impacts,
cuts, punctures, or similar hazards.
4.For purposes of
this chapter, the importer of record shall specify upon entry whether garments
claimed as recreational performance outerwear
have an outer
surface that is water-resistant, visibly coated, or a combination thereof, and
shall further enumerate the specific features that make the garments eligible
to be classified as recreational performance
outerwear.
