S 3229 United States Senate · 119th Congress

No Tariffs on Groceries Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the President from imposing new tariffs on food-related products without prior congressional approval. It requires the President to submit a request to Congress for any new food tariff, after which Congress must pass a specific joint resolution approving it within 45 days. The law defines "food" broadly to include groceries, animal feed, agricultural commodities, packaging, seeds, fertilizers, and agro-chemicals. Exceptions apply for anti-dumping or countervailing duties under existing trade law. The bill directly affects the executive branch's tariff authority and the food industry by requiring legislative oversight for new food-related tariffs.
