To prohibit the imposition of additional tariffs on agricultural inputs imported from countries to which the United States has extended normal trade relations, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 7716 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prevent the U.S. government from imposing additional tariffs (taxes on imports) on agricultural inputs—such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and equipment—that come from countries with which the U.S. has normal trade relations. The bill essentially aims to protect farmers and agricultural businesses from increased costs on materials they rely on for farming operations. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily benefit farmers and agricultural producers who depend on imported farming supplies.

It could also affect consumers by potentially keeping food prices lower. On the other side, it could impact U.S. companies that produce competing agricultural inputs domestically, as they might face less protection from foreign competition. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Jill Tokuda (D-Hawaii) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. No further action has been taken at this time.
