Walorski, Jackie [R-IN-2] | IN | R | W000813 | 4 | CNL Update Act This bill makes changes to the procedures for competitive need limitations (CNL) and de minimis waivers under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program. CNLs are quantitative ceilings on GSP benefits for each product and beneficiary developing country; a beneficiary developing country loses its GSP eligibility with respect to a product if the CNLs are exceeded and no waiver is granted. Currently, the President must terminate the duty-free treatment for a product from a beneficiary developing country if (1) imports of a product from a single country reach a specified threshold value, which increases by $5 million each calendar year; or (2) 50% or more of total U.S. imports of a product entering under the GSP come from a single country. This bill revises the annual adjustment amount from $5 million to an amount equal to 6.5%. Further, the bill sets the annual increase in the de minimis level to 6.5%. Currently, the de minimis level is adjusted each year in increments of $500,000. | 2022-12-30T03:04:05Z | |

| 117-hr-6121 | 117 | hr | 6121 | Eliminating Global Market Distortions to Protect American Jobs Act of 2021 | Foreign Trade and International Finance | 2021-12-02 | 2021-12-02 | Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. | House | Rep. Sewell, Terri A. [D-AL-7] | AL | D | S001185 | 33 | Eliminating Global Market Distortions to Protect American Jobs Act of 2021 This bill addresses unfair trade practices by making various changes to U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty law. Antidumping provides relief to U.S industries and workers that are materially injured or threatened with injury due to imports of like products sold in the U.S. market at less than fair value, while countervailing duty provides such relief from imports of products subsidized by a foreign government or public entity. Specifically, the bill establishes a process for successive antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. Successive investigations may be concurrent (an ongoing investigation of the same product from different countries) or recently completed (not more than two years before the date of the initiation of the successive investigation). Further, the bill establishes a time line for the Department of Commerce to issue determinations in successive investigations. Among other provisions, the bill authorizes Commerce to apply countervailing duty law to subsidies provided by a foreign government or public entity to a company operating in a different country, use another method for calculating the cost of production in specific circumstances, and require importers to provide a certification that the imported merchandise is not subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty order. Additionally, the bill establishes procedures for Commerce to conduct circumvention inquiries, including by specifying the deadlines for preliminary and final determinations. The bill repeals the Softwood Lumber Act of 2008, which addresses the importation of softwood lumber and softwood lumber products. | 2023-03-08T19:58:54Z | |

Gohmert, Louie [R-TX-1] | TX | R | G000552 | 4 | Protect American IPR Act This bill addresses the effects of violations of U.S. intellectual property rights in China or by Chinese persons. The bill directs the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to study the losses of revenue to holders of those rights. It directs the USTR to impose duties on merchandise from China in an amount equivalent to the annual loss of revenue to U.S. intellectual property rights holders reduced by the amount of tariffs collected for such violations. Duties collected must be used to compensate U.S. intellectual property rights holders injured by such violations. | 2022-12-30T03:04:07Z |
