## Summary

**Impose reciprocal tariffs** on imports that match a foreign country's duty or the effective cost of its non‑tariff barriers. This bill would give the President a toolkit to negotiate lower foreign tariffs or to set U.S. duty rates to push trading partners toward fairer access for U.S. exporters. - U.S. producers, farmers, and workers: Would aim to open foreign markets by forcing reductions in foreign tariffs and non‑tariff barriers or by matching those barriers with U.S. duties, improving competitive opportunities for exporters. - Presidential authority and congressional check: Would let the President either negotiate agreements to lower foreign barriers or impose matching duties. It would require at least 30 days public notice before raising duties, allow Congress to pass a disapproval resolution with a two‑thirds threshold, and expires after 3 years unless extended. - Rules, advice, and scope: Would direct the United States Trade Representative, with Treasury and Commerce input, to calculate effective rates from non‑tariff barriers. The bill lists factors for choosing rates and defines nontariff barriers broadly to include sanitary rules, technical rules, procurement, IP, digital barriers, and state‑backed anticompetitive conduct.
