The "American CANS Act" proposes to amend the Tariff Act of 1930, specifically addressing the country-of-origin labeling requirements for certain imported goods. Its primary purpose is to enhance consumer awareness regarding the source of agricultural products packaged in a can . The bill mandates that the required country-of-origin marking for these products must be prominently displayed. This display must occur either on the front label of the can or be stamped, embossed, or printed on the top of the can . These new labeling provisions will become effective for all applicable agricultural products imported into the United States 18 months following the date of the Act's enactment.
