Ending Normal Trade Relations with China Act of 2023

HR 4673, the Ending Normal Trade Relations with China Act of 2023, would end the U.S. policy granting China lower tariffs on its exports. If enacted, it would require all Chinese-made goods to pay standard U.S. tariffs (the rates in column 2 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule) starting two years after the law's passage, instead of the reduced "normal trade relations" rates. The bill also prevents future extension of this preferential status and allows the President to further increase tariffs on Chinese products. This change would directly affect Chinese exporters and U.S. importers of Chinese goods by raising their costs.
