Stop Mexico’s Steel Surge Act

This bill reimposes tariffs on steel imports from Mexico at levels in effect before May 2019, requiring the Secretary of Commerce to maintain these duties for at least one year. It targets Mexican steel exporters directly, aiming to address alleged breaches of a 2019 trade agreement that the bill claims caused harm to the U.S. steel industry. The law also allows the President to set import limits (quotas) to reduce Mexican steel shipments back to pre-2019 trade volumes. Duties can only be lowered if U.S. officials certify Mexico has adopted compliant policies and will maintain them. The measure focuses on reversing increased steel imports from Mexico under the framework of the 2019 Joint Statement.
