New trade probe for U.S. alcohol exporters
If enacted, the U.S. Trade Representative would open an investigation within 30 days. The probe would check whether countries with free trade agreements, including Canada, stopped importing or distributing U.S. alcoholic beverages in a way actionable under section 301. Before deciding or enforcing trade action, the USTR would consult affected U.S. alcohol manufacturers, the Commerce and State Departments, and the U.S. International Trade Commission. The USTR would also seek information from trade associations and domestic producers, notify the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees before enforcement, and provide reports and public summaries. The bill would define key terms like "alcoholic beverage" and make clear that a "covered foreign country" means an FTA partner, explicitly including Canada.
