Bill > HR5516

This bill prevents the United States from imposing any additional tariffs on coffee products imported from countries that have been granted normal trade relations (NTR) status beyond the tariff rates in effect as of January 19, 2025. Specifically, the bill covers all coffee-related products, including unroasted and roasted coffee, decaffeinated coffee, coffee husks and skins, and coffee substitutes containing any proportion of coffee. The legislation ensures that import duties on these products cannot be increased above their current levels, regardless of any other existing laws or regulations that might otherwise allow for tariff adjustments, including emergency tariff provisions. By establishing this prohibition, the bill aims to maintain stable and predictable trade conditions for coffee imports from countries with which the United States has normal trade relations, potentially protecting consumers from potential price increases and supporting international coffee trade.
