Increasing American Ferrosilicon Production Act
This bill increases tariffs on ferrosilicon imported from Russia and Belarus to 35% of the product's value, targeting ferrosilicon classified under HTS code 7202.21.50. It requires the U.S. Trade Representative to assess within 30 days whether American producers can meet domestic demand if imports decline, with a public comment period on U.S. production capacity. If U.S. producers can scale up, the bill mandates notifying Congress and considering further tariff hikes. The authority to impose these tariffs is extended through 2025.
