To prohibit the imposition of additional tariffs on agricultural inputs imported from countries to which the United States has extended normal trade relations, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill would freeze tariff rates on agricultural inputs at the levels that were in effect on January 19, 2025, for imports from countries with normal trade relations status with the United States. The bill prevents the imposition of tariffs above those rates on seeds, fertilizers, crop chemicals, livestock feed, fuel, farm machinery and equipment, building materials, veterinary supplies, and other agricultural production inputs. The bill applies notwithstanding any other law or regulation authorizing tariff increases, including emergency tariff authorities.
