Tariff Bill proposes broad duties changes across farm goods
German import items gain free list status for gun barrels and sewing needles while new metal aluminum receives a first time designation under metals and manufactures. The bill lowers timber duties modestly, raises tobacco and several agricultural duties, and imposes stricter country of origin labeling to curb fake American brands. Overall revenue is projected to drop by about 60 million dollars with large cuts from sugar and internal taxes and a modest reduction from the free list.
