SJRES88-119

Passed Senate

A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.

119th Congress Introduced Oct 7, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

Terminates the national emergency declared by the President on April 2, 2025, in Executive Order 14257, published at 90 Fed. Reg. 15041, which was used to impose global tariffs. The termination takes effect on the date the joint resolution is enacted and operates through section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.

Who Benefits and How

U.S. importers, foreign exporters, retailers, manufacturers using imported inputs, customs brokers, logistics firms, and U.S. consumers benefit if the end of the emergency removes or prevents global emergency-tariff charges. The practical benefit is lower landed costs, reduced customs complexity, less price pass-through, and more predictable purchasing across broad import categories.

Who Bears the Burden and How

The President, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, tariff administrators, domestic firms protected by the global tariffs, and trade negotiators lose the emergency authority and leverage attached to the global tariff program. CBP systems, import-compliance staff, and tariff-policy offices may need to update entry treatment when the emergency termination takes effect.

Key Provisions

  • Terminates the April 2, 2025 national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257.
  • Uses National Emergencies Act section 202 authority and makes the termination effective on enactment.
  • Reduces global emergency-tariff exposure for U.S. importers, foreign exporters, retailers, manufacturers, and consumers.
  • Limits continued presidential use of that emergency declaration as the legal basis for global tariffs.
