Bill Summary

To prohibit the imposition of duties on the importation of goods under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This bill limits the President's authority to use emergency economic powers to impose duties on items entering the United States.

AI Summary

This bill limits the President's authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose duties on the importation of goods into the United States. Specifically, it amends IEEPA to explicitly state that the President's emergency economic powers do not include the authority to impose such duties. This restricts the President's ability to use IEEPA to unilaterally raise tariffs on imported products during declared national emergencies.
