American CANS Act

HR 914, the American CANS Act, requires importers of canned agricultural products to clearly mark the country of origin on the front label or top of the can. This applies specifically to agricultural products packaged in cans, as defined by existing law, and affects businesses importing these items into the U.S. The bill amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to mandate this labeling, effective 18 months after the bill's enactment. It does not change product content or pricing, only the required origin disclosure on packaging.
