A bill to amend the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States to provide for permanent duty-free treatment on imports of basketballs.

This bill, S 3995, permanently eliminates import tariffs (duties) on basketballs entering the United States. It adds a new tariff code (9506.62.70) specifically for basketballs, designating them as duty-free under the U.S. import tariff system. This change directly affects businesses that import basketballs, such as sports equipment manufacturers and retailers, by removing a cost associated with bringing these products into the country. The provision takes effect 15 days after the bill is signed into law.
