HR 2536 United States House · 118th Congress

U.S. Citrus Protection Act

HR 2536, the U.S. Citrus Protection Act, prohibits the importation of commercially produced fresh citrus fruit from China into the United States. This directly affects Chinese citrus fruit exporters and U.S. importers who previously brought in such products. The key provision bans these imports entirely, effective 90 days after the bill becomes law, with no exceptions mentioned in the text. The bill focuses solely on restricting imports without altering existing agricultural regulations or providing alternative market access.
