Customs Business Fairness Act of 2023
This bill, titled misleadingly as the "Customs Business Fairness Act," is actually a narrow amendment to bankruptcy law, not customs policy. It modifies Section 507(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to exclude "subparagraph (F)" from certain debt treatment rules, affecting businesses filing for bankruptcy under Title 11 after the law's enactment. The amendment applies only to bankruptcy cases commenced after the bill becomes law, not to cases filed before it was enacted. This is a procedural change with no direct impact on customs operations or import/export regulations.
