FIGHTING for America Act of 2024
This bill would modify the de minimis exemption (allowing low-value imports without duties) to better prevent smuggling of illicit goods like fentanyl. It requires importers to provide additional documentation including product descriptions, country of origin, and Harmonized Tariff Schedule classifications for low-value shipments. The bill also creates new penalties for false information and limits exemptions for certain goods, such as those subject to anti-dumping duties or identified as high-risk. It would require importers to pay a $2 fee per shipment under the exemption and mandates regular reports to Congress on how the exemption is being used. These changes aim to protect U.S. revenue, prevent illicit goods from entering the country, and improve transparency in low-value imports.
