S 5564 United States Senate · 118th Congress

SEWAGE GARLIC Imports Tariff Act of 2024

This bill imposes a $100 per kilogram tariff on all garlic imports from China, including fresh, frozen, dried, preserved, and garlic oil products. The tariff applies to specific garlic classifications listed under U.S. tariff codes (HTS), effectively raising import costs to discourage Chinese garlic. Revenue from this tariff will fund a dedicated trust account, with annual transfers to support domestic garlic growers through the Specialty Crops Block Grant Program. The measure directly affects Chinese garlic exporters and aims to bolster U.S. garlic producers by making imports significantly more expensive while channeling tariff revenue toward domestic farming support.
