What this amendment would do

This amendment would exempt certain consumer goods from duties, which are taxes on imported goods, that were imposed due to a national emergency declaration.

The exemption applies if the duties are estimated to increase the final sale price of a good by more than what would occur under a projected annual inflation rate of 2 percent.

A consumer good is defined as an item in the "consumer goods" category used by the Bureau of the Census.

The definition also includes an intermediate input, which is a component used in manufacturing, if it is in the "capital goods" or "industrial supplies" category and is used to produce a good in the United States for final sale to United States consumers.
