In Committee

Terminating the national emergency declared to impose duties on articles imported from Brazil.

119th Congress Introduced Feb 2, 2026

Summary

What This Bill Does

This joint resolution uses the National Emergencies Act to terminate a July 30, 2025 national emergency declared in Executive Order 14323. The emergency was used to impose duties on articles imported from Brazil. Termination would remove the emergency basis for those duties rather than negotiate a broader trade agreement. The stakes are tariff costs, presidential emergency trade authority, importers, Brazilian exporters, and U.S. industries that benefit from tariff protection.

Who Benefits and How

U.S. importers of Brazilian goods benefit because terminating the emergency would reduce or remove duty exposure tied to Executive Order 14323. Brazilian exporters benefit because their goods would face less emergency-tariff pressure in the U.S. market. U.S. consumers benefit if lower import duties reduce downstream prices. Members of Congress opposing emergency tariff authority benefit from a direct vote to end the emergency.

Who Bears the Burden and How

The President must accept termination of the emergency if the joint resolution is enacted. U.S. industries protected by the Brazil duties may face more import competition. Customs and Border Protection must adjust duty collection if the emergency tariff basis ends. Trade policy offices must manage diplomatic and market effects of terminating the emergency.

Key Provisions

  • Terminates the national emergency declared on July 30, 2025 in Executive Order 14323.
  • Blocks the emergency basis for duties on articles imported from Brazil.
  • Reduces presidential emergency trade authority in this specific tariff action.
  • Requires customs and trade officials to adjust administration if the emergency ends.
