Repealing Outdated and Unilateral Tariff Authorities Act

This legislative proposal, known as the Repealing Outdated and Unilateral Tariff Authorities Act , seeks to eliminate a specific provision within existing trade law. Its primary purpose is to repeal Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 , which is codified as 19 U.S.C. 1338. By repealing this section, the bill would remove the President's authority to impose additional duties or exclude goods originating from countries that are deemed to be discriminating against the commerce of the United States. This action aims to update and streamline U.S. trade policy by removing what is characterized as an outdated and unilateral tariff authority.
