SJRES81-119

Passed Senate

A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose duties on articles imported from Brazil.

119th Congress Introduced Sep 18, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

Terminates the national emergency declared by the President on July 30, 2025, in Executive Order 14323, published at 90 Fed. Reg. 37739, which was used to impose duties on articles imported from Brazil. The joint resolution relies on section 202 of the National Emergencies Act, so its legal effect is to end that emergency authority rather than rewrite tariff schedules directly.

Who Benefits and How

Brazilian exporters, U.S. importers of Brazilian goods, retailers using Brazilian supply chains, manufacturers that buy Brazilian inputs, customs brokers, and U.S. consumers benefit if terminating the emergency removes or prevents the emergency-based duties. Their benefit is lower tariff exposure, less customs-cost pass-through, and more predictable trade planning for Brazil-origin articles.

Who Bears the Burden and How

The President, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, tariff administrators, domestic producers protected by the Brazil duties, and trade-policy officials lose the emergency basis for those duties. CBP and import-compliance systems may need to update entry treatment, while protected domestic firms could face more price competition from Brazilian imports.

Key Provisions

  • Terminates the July 30, 2025 national emergency declared in Executive Order 14323.
  • Uses National Emergencies Act section 202 authority to end the emergency supporting duties on articles imported from Brazil.
  • Reduces emergency-tariff exposure for U.S. importers, Brazilian exporters, and downstream purchasers of Brazil-origin goods.
  • Limits the President's ability to keep using that emergency declaration as the legal basis for Brazil-specific import duties.
