Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Higher tariffs on goods from China
If enacted, the bill would end normal trade relations with the People’s Republic of China. That change would take effect 90 days after enactment and block future NTR extensions for China. It would make the column 2 Harmonized Tariff Schedule duty rates apply to all China-origin products. The President would also be able to raise those duty rates above the column 2 levels. For this section, "People's Republic of China" would include China, Hong Kong, Macau, and their agencies. Importers, U.S. businesses that use Chinese inputs, and consumers would likely face higher costs and prices.
