End to unilateral tariff authority
The bill would repeal a 1930 law section that lets the government raise some tariffs on its own. This would remove one tool for sudden tariff hikes. Importers and companies that buy foreign goods could see less policy risk. Domestic producers that benefit from unilateral tariffs could face more competition. Consumers might see price changes indirectly.
