US has a number of special programmes which provide duty free and other benefits to regions for exporting of various textile and apparel items into US. These programmes are many \u00e2\u20ac\u201c eg AGOA Act , Andean Act, CBTPA Act,DR- Cafta Act , NAFTA and other special arrangements that US has with countries like Israel, Jordan etc<\/strong>. How are these special regions performing in comparison to each other when it comes to exporting denim apparel to US in 2010 and 2011 . And how are individual countries within these pacts performing<\/strong> . It is also interesting to see that some countries which are covered under special import programmes are also making shipments to US which are not covered under these programmes<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which means that they are doing these shipments outside the programmes and without any duty benefits \u00e2\u20ac\u201c just to increase the share of their market in US. <\/p>\n

The exports under special programmes has risen by a few % points whereas those without any programmes have gone down .
