Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Ban on Russian oil imports

The law bans imports into the United States of all Russian products in chapter 27 of the tariff schedule, like oil and fuels. Agencies carry this out consistent with Executive Order 14066. The ban takes effect upon enactment. Importers and energy businesses can no longer bring in these Russian fuels. This can tighten supply and raise fuel and energy prices for households and businesses.

Path to end the oil import ban

The President can end the ban by sending Congress a written certification. It must state that Russia agreed to withdraw forces and stop hostilities accepted by Ukraine, poses no immediate military threat to any NATO member, and recognizes Ukraine’s right to choose its government. The President must consult four committees at least 45 calendar days before and send them a report. The termination takes effect 90 calendar days after the certification unless Congress passes a disapproval law in that period. Congress has fast-track rules: leaders have 5 days to file, committees have 10 days, House debate is 2 hours, and Senate debate is 10 hours before a vote.
