    PURPOSE AND SCOPE

    This annual report for 2017 contains a compilation of the statistical reports published every two weeks by

    the Commission on the volume, value, unit value, and import market share of imports from China that were

    subject to the provisions of the 2005 U.S.-China Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Trade in

    Textiles and Apparel (MOU). This compilation includes official import data from the U.S. Department of

    Commerce, and shows data at the 3-digit textile/apparel category level and by the Harmonized Tariff

    Schedule (HTS) 10-digit subheadings in these categories. The Commission posts updated reports every

    two weeks on its website at:

    www.usitc.gov/research_and_analysis/what_we_are_working_on.htm

    The Commission prepares the reports every two weeks, as well as annual compilations in response to a

    request from the House Committee on Ways and Means received on October 14, 2008, pursuant to section

    332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(g)). The Commission instituted investigation No. 332-501,

    Textile and Apparel Imports from China: Statistical Reports , for the purpose of preparing these reports.

    The United States International Trade Commission (www.usitc.gov) is an independent, quasijudicial federal

    agency with broad investigative responsibilities on matters of trade. The agency investigates the effects of

    dumped and subsidized imports on domestic industries and conducts global safeguard investigations. The

    Commission also adjudicates cases involving alleged infringement by imports of intellectual property rights.

    Through such proceedings, the agency helps to support a rules-based international trading system. The

    Commission also serves as a federal resource where trade data and other trade policy-related information

    are gathered and analyzed. The information and analysis are provided to the President, the Office of the

    United States Trade Representative (USTR), and Congress to facilitate the development of sound and

    informed U.S. trade policy. The Commission makes most of its information and analysis available to the

    public to promote understanding of international trade issues.

    Imports are based on general imports, customs value.

    All data are official statistics of the U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau), accessible at the following website:

    TEXTILE AND APPAREL IMPORTS FROM CHINA: STATISTICAL REPORTS

    Annual Compilation 2017

    Introduction

    The annual time frame for presenting the data by HTS10 subheading is limited, compared with category data, because valid subheadings may change from

    year to year as a result of revisions to the HTS. (Typically, HTS10 subheadings are superseded by new HTS10 subheadings as a result of statistical

    breakouts or changes to the HTS that are necessary pursuant to HS revisions by the World Customs Organization.) Major subheading changes occurred in

    2007 and again in 2012. Minor changes have occurred in the interim years. Only data for subheadings valid during the entire time frame of this report are

    shown to ensure that only meaningful trends are presented.

    The textile and apparel import data in this report are presented by 3-digit category numbers and combinations thereof (scroll down this sheet to view a list of

    these categories), as well as by 10-digit HTS (HTS10) subheading. The HTS10 subheadings in each category are based on a correlation maintained by the

    Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce. Click on the following link for this correlation:

    The import data presented here are only for the items that were subject to the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding. These HTS10 items are specified in

    the document at the following link:

    Import data can be found on the data sheets that follow this sheet. Navigate to these data using the links below or the tabs at the bottom of the screen. Each

    data sheet has columns that show absolute and percentage change for the latest period as compared with the beginning period (scroll to the right if these

    columns are not visible). A "Not applicable" in the percentage change column indicates that a value cannot be calculated because the value in the beginning

    period is zero.

    Each data sheet also has a filtering feature on line 4 that can be used to isolate or sort the data. Use the filter in the index column (sort ascending option) to

    return the sheet to its original order.
