This legislation aims to significantly limit the President's authority to impose new duties on articles of food . Under its provisions, the President would be prohibited from implementing any new tariffs on food unless a formal request is transmitted to Congress and subsequently receives specific approval through an Act of Congress . The bill defines "articles of food" broadly to include items for human or animal consumption, their components, and agricultural inputs like seeds and fertilizers. An important exception is made, clarifying that this limitation does not extend to existing tariff-rate quotas on food products.
