Show full summary
- Importers and U.S. businesses: Would no longer face new duties or tariff-rate quotas imposed under IEEPA during a declared emergency. This narrows the set of trade-restrictive measures available to the executive branch.
- Foreign exporters and trading partners: Could not be hit with IEEPA-based duties or tariff-rate quotas but could still be blocked entirely if the President uses exclusion authority against a country or a class of goods.
- Executive branch and emergency response: Narrows presidential trade tools to exclusions of goods while removing the option to impose emergency import taxes or tariff-rate quotas under IEEPA.

Limits presidential power to raise tariffs
This bill would stop the President from using an IEEPA trade-emergency power to impose or raise duties or to add tariff-rate quotas on goods entering the United States. It would still allow the President to exclude all goods, or all goods of a certain type, from a given country. If enacted, importers and businesses that use foreign goods would face less risk of new tariffs. Many consumers could see a lower risk of higher prices. The change would take effect upon enactment.
