US reciprocal tariffs threaten Haiti’s textile industry, economy
Fresh 10-per cent US tariff on imports from Latin American and Caribbean countries, including Haiti, could badly hit the Haitian textile industry, which relies solely on duty-free access to the US market through trade agreements. Its textile sector, which has lost 40,000 jobs due to the security crisis, represents 90 per cent of formal employment, and is particularly vulnerable to new US tariffs.
