Terminating the national emergency declared to impose duties on articles imported from Brazil.

# Summary of HJRES 147 **What the Bill Would Do** This resolution would terminate a national emergency declaration that was used to impose tariffs (special taxes) on imports from Brazil. If passed, it would end the legal basis for these tariffs, effectively removing or reducing the additional taxes currently placed on Brazilian goods entering the United States. **Who It Affects** The bill would impact U.S. businesses and consumers who buy Brazilian products (such as steel, agricultural goods, and other imports), as well as American companies that export to Brazil.

It could affect prices for consumers and competitiveness for U.S. industries that rely on or compete with Brazilian imports. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Gregory Meeks (D-NY).
