Verify current rates at hts.usitc.gov before finalizing

Trade Program	Countries	Typical Apparel Rate	Typical Textile Rate	Section 301 Add-On
China — MFN + Section 301	China	25–35%	25–35%	+25% to +100%

CAFTA-DR and USMCA zero-duty treatment requires rules of origin compliance — yarn-forward for most apparel categories. Verify eligibility for your HTS codes before modeling zero-duty savings. Source: USTR, 2025.

Section D — Policy Risk Scenario Analysis

Savings calculated against your Section A totals — updates automatically

Stress-test your projected savings against trade policy change scenarios. What happens to your nearshoring advantage if CAFTA-DR rates shift?

Base Case — Zero Duty Maintained

$—

Full projected savings at 0% nearshoring rate. CAFTA-DR / USMCA maintained as-is.

Moderate — 5% Duty Rate

$—

Partial savings retained if rules of origin tightened or tariff-rate quotas introduced.

Adverse — 15% Duty Rate

$—

Significant savings erosion if agreement renegotiated. Still savings vs. current MFN rate.

Recommendation: Nearshoring should remain financially viable at the 15% adverse scenario to justify long-term production commitment. If the adverse case eliminates the savings advantage, reassess the total landed cost model before committing capacity.
