What is Allied's position?
This bulletin set the quota rules for Haiti HELP apparel entries filed between February 9 and December 31, 2026. Because the quota period is still open as of today, we continue to apply these proration and timing rules to qualifying entries we file. Clients shipping HELP apparel should ask us to confirm the current quota status for their specific entries.
