I
112th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 2071
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
June 1, 2011
Mr. Reichert (for himself, Mr. Blumenauer, and Mr. Walden) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
A BILL
To provide for duty-free treatment of certain recreational performance outerwear, and for other purposes.
Short title
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
.
Findings
Congress finds the following:
The outdoor industry contributes $730,000,000,000 to the United States economy annually.
Outdoor activities are vitally important to the health and well-being of the people of the United States.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.

Definitions
The Additional U.S. Note to Chapter 61 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States is amended—
in the heading, by
striking Additional U.S. Note
and inserting Additional
U.S. Notes
; and
by adding at the end the following new notes:
For purposes of this chapter, the term recreational performance outerwear means trousers (including, but not limited to, paddling pants, ski or snowboard pants, and ski or snowboard pants intended for sale as parts of ski-suits), coveralls and bib overalls, and jackets (including, but not limited to, full zip jackets, paddling jackets, ski jackets, and ski jackets intended for sale as parts of ski-suits), windbreakers, and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets) 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:
Insulation for cold weather protection.
Pockets, at least one of which has a zippered, hook and loop, or other type of closure.
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 tightening around the waist or bottom hem for jackets.
Venting, not including grommet(s).
Articulated elbows or knees.
Reinforcement in one of the following areas: the elbows, shoulders, seat, knees, ankles, or cuffs.
Weatherproof closure at the waist or front.
Multi-adjustable hood or adjustable collar.
Adjustable powder skirt, inner protective skirt, or adjustable inner protective cuff at sleeve hem.
Construction at the arm gusset that utilizes fabric, design, or patterning to allow radial arm movement.
Odor control technology.
For purposes of this Note, the following terms have the following meanings:
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.
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.
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.
The term critically sealed seams means—
for jackets, sealed seams that are sealed at the front and back yokes, or at the shoulders, arm holes, or both, where applicable; and
for trousers, sealed seams that are sealed at the front (up to the zipper or other means of closure) and back rise.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The term radial arm movement refers to unrestricted, 180-degree range of motion for the arm while wearing performance outerwear.
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.
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.
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.

For purposes of this Note, the following terms have the following meanings:
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.
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.
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.
The term critically sealed seams means seams’ that are sealed—
for jackets, at the front and back yokes, or at the shoulders, arm holes, or both, where applicable; and
for trousers, at the front (up to the zipper or other means of closure) and back rise.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The term radial arm movement refers to unrestricted, 180-degree range of motion for the arm while wearing performance outerwear.
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.
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.
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.
