Latest action (27 Aug 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
What this bill does
**What the bill would do:** H.R. 10175 would repeal section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, a provision that allows the President to impose tariffs or other duties on goods from foreign countries found to discriminate against U.S. commerce. Any presidential proclamation issued under that section would be nullified and have no legal effect. The bill also directs the President to take the steps necessary to refund tariffs or duties that were collected—whether before, on, or after the bill's enactment—as a result of proclamations issued under that authority.
**Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects importers and businesses that have paid tariffs imposed through proclamations issued under section 338, as they could become eligible for refunds. It also affects the President's authority to impose this specific type of tariff going forward, removing this tool from use in trade actions against countries deemed to discriminate against U.S. commerce. U.S. trade policy administration, including agencies responsible for tariff collection and refunds, would need to implement the change.
**Status and next steps:** The bill was introduced on August 27, 2026, by Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) along with several cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. It has not yet been considered by the committee, passed by the House, taken up by the Senate, or signed into law. Further action would require committee review and votes in both chambers before it could take effect.
