HR 7836 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States to provide for permanent duty-free treatment on imports of basketballs.

HR 7836 would permanently remove import duties (taxes) on basketballs entering the United States. This bill directly affects businesses that import basketballs by eliminating the 30% tax they previously paid. The key mechanism is adding a new tariff classification (9506.62.70) to the US import rules, designating basketballs as duty-free. The change takes effect 15 days after the bill becomes law.
