The duty-free treatment runs until December 31, 2026
“``(h) Termination.--The duty-free treatment provided under this section shall remain in effect until December 31, 2026.''.”
Section 5020 amends subsection (h) of section 213A of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act to read as quoted, so that the duty-free treatment under that section stays in effect until December 31, 2026.
What the document actually says
“``(h) Termination.--The duty-free treatment provided under this section shall remain in effect until December 31, 2026.''.”
That sentence, in plain words
The no-tax treatment under this part stays in place until December 31, 2026.
What this is about

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
