00 2025-01-23 Introduced in House 2025-04-18T15:41:01Z <p><strong>Restoring Trade Fairness Act</strong></p><p>This bill establishes various trade measures related to China, including by revoking&nbsp;China's permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) status and increasing the rates of duty (i.e., tariffs) on Chinese imported goods.&nbsp;The bill prohibits imported goods originating from North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran from receiving&nbsp;de&nbsp;minimis treatment.&nbsp;(Current law allows for U.S. imports under a de minimis<em> </em>threshold of $800 per shipment to enter free of tariffs, fees, and taxes.)</p><p>Specifically, the bill revokes China's PNTR status. Currently, China's PNTR status allows for Chinese goods to have duty rates set&nbsp;forth in column 1 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). With the removal of China's PNTR status, the bill generally sets the applicable duty rates on imported Chinese&nbsp;goods at the higher rates listed in column 2 of the HTS, with exceptions.</p><p>The bill establishes a minimum duty rate of 35% for all Chinese goods, which requires column 2 rates to be at least 35%. However, the bill establishes a minimum duty rate of 100% for a list of specified goods (e.g., various minerals, certain vaccines and drugs, and certain defense-related articles). Duty rates are phased in over five years and adjusted annually for inflation.</p><p>The bill also</p><ul><li>authorizes the President to take additional actions related to trade with China,&nbsp;</li><li>requires merchandise imported from China to be appraised based on U.S. value, and&nbsp;</li><li>establishes a trust fund to compensate U.S. producers for lost revenue resulting from retaliatory actions by China.</li></ul>
