Deadline to Submit Comments on Proposed Technical Corrections to U.S. Trade Laws and Duty Suspension Bills is September 2, 2005
This is a reminder that September 2, 2005 is the deadline for submitting public comments to the House Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee on the proposed technical corrections to U.S. trade laws and the numerous miscellaneous duty suspension bills that have been introduced in the 109th Congress. Hundreds of miscellaneous duty suspension bills were submitted by Members of Congress by the April 28, 2005 deadline, most of which relate to the suspension of duties on imported chemical products. However, duty suspension bills were also introduced on a wide variety of imported products, including bicycle parts, aspirin, camel hair, certain cathode-ray tubes and basketballs. Among the proposed technical corrections to U.S. trade laws, is H.R. 1121, a bill that would repeal the Byrd Amendment.
A complete list of the proposed technical corrections to U.S. trade laws and miscellaneous duty suspension bills, as well as details on how to submit public comments, can be found on the Ways and Means Committee's website at: waysandmeans.house.gov/hearings.asp?formmode=view&id=2951.
