July 30, 2018: In a proclamation released by the White House, President Trump announced to suspend Rwanda’s duty-free treatment for all African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)-eligible apparel products until Rwanda “comes back into compliance with the AGOA eligibility requirements.” Losing the AGOA benefits means Rwanda’s apparel exports to the United States now will be subject to the most-favored-nation (MFN) tariff rate, which averaged 12.8% for knitted apparel (HS chapter 61) and 10.1% on woven apparel (HS chapter 62). In 2017, the United States imported $1.5 million apparel from Rwanda, which accounted for approximately only 3% of Rwanda’s total exports to the United States. According to the proclamation, Rwanda remains eligible to receive non-apparel benefits available under AGOA.
