1The textile and apparel TPLs listed in this report are those that were the most “active” in their prior control period, i.e., they were more than 40% filled at the end of their period. Coverage expands to other TPLs if their activity is significant in the current control period. Data on the other commodities mirrors CBP’s Threshold to Fill List.
