## Summary

**Tariff exemption for critical homebuilding products.** This bill would exempt a defined list of building materials and components used in single-family and multi-family homes from tariffs imposed on or after January 20, 2025, to target lower costs for residential construction and furnishing. - Homebuyers and builders: The bill would remove tariffs on many inputs used to build and finish homes. The covered items are listed by Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) headings and include wood, metals, glass, ceramics, plastics, and related components. - Importers and manufacturers: Firms that import or supply the listed HTS headings would be able to bring those products in tariff-free under the bill's rules. The exemption applies only to products classified under the bill's explicit HTS table. - Executive and Congress: The President could not reimpose a covered tariff unless the National Association of Realtors' Housing Affordability Index averages 160 or more for the prior 12-month period and Congress passes a specific joint resolution approving that reimposition. Those joint resolutions must follow expedited trade procedures and name the exact article and action approved.
