Anti-BDS Labeling Act
This bill maintains the U.S. government's 2020 policy requiring imported goods produced in the West Bank or Gaza to be labeled as "Made in Israel" rather than "Made in the West Bank" or "Made in Gaza." It prohibits using federal funds for any effort to change this labeling requirement, including new regulations or executive actions by agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The policy directly affects importers of such goods and U.S. agencies responsible for enforcing country-of-origin labeling.
