textile and apparel provisions

Textile and apparel provisions are rules in international trade agreements that govern the import and export of clothing, fabrics, and related products. They often include standards on product quality, safety, and origin to protect domestic industries and consumers. These provisions may specify tariffs, quotas, or rules of origin to control the movement of textiles and apparel across borders. By setting clear guidelines, they help ensure fair competition, prevent fraud, and facilitate smooth trade between countries, supporting economic growth and adherence to safety and environmental standards.
