sweeping tariff plan shocks Congress with new ad valorem shift
The new Democratic tariff bill released today surprises lawmakers by embracing a broad free list of raw materials and ad valorem duties.

The measure reduces overall tariff revenue and details changes across chemistry, pottery, glass, iron and steel, copper, nickel, ore, lumber, and related products, while stressing benefits to labor and domestic production.
