To impose a 30 percent duty on sheep products and lamb products from Australia or New Zealand.

# Bill Summary: HR 7276 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 7276 would impose a 30 percent tariff (tax) on sheep and lamb products imported from Australia and New Zealand. If passed, this would make these imported products significantly more expensive when they enter the United States, which could increase prices for American consumers and businesses that use these products while potentially making domestically-produced lamb and sheep products more competitive. **Who It Affects** The bill would impact American consumers who buy lamb and sheep meat, wool, and related products; U.S. sheep and lamb producers (who would face less competition from cheaper imports); American importers and retailers of these products; and the Australian and New Zealand livestock industries.

Nevada, where sponsor Rep. Mark Amodei represents a district, has a significant sheep ranching industry. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It remains in the early stages of the legislative process with no scheduled action as of this summary.
