Formula 3.0 Act
The Formula 3.0 Act removes tariffs on infant formula base powder (a dry mixture requiring only vitamins/minerals to become formula) for manufacturers authorized by the FDA to market infant formula in the U.S. It creates a new duty-free tariff classification (1901.90.57) for this base powder, effective 120 days after enactment. This directly affects infant formula manufacturers and importers who meet FDA authorization requirements. The bill modifies U.S. tariff schedules to eliminate duties on specific infant formula components, aiming to reduce import costs for compliant manufacturers.
