U.S. Clothing Retailers To Source Out To Haiti

The Obama administration has urged U.S. clothing retailers to source at least 1 percent of their clothing from Haiti.

Haiti is the 17th largest supplier of clothing to the United States.

It exported more than $513 million worth of clothing to the United States in 2009, up almost 25 percent from 2008.

Most of the clothing that Haiti sells in the United States comes in duty free under the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act
