Law

Congress is considering a new 30% tax on all sheep and lamb products imported from Australia and New Zealand. This includes meat like lamb chops, as well as wool used for clothing and sheepskins used for rugs or leather.
This tax would be added on top of any existing fees already paid at the border. If passed, the new rules would start 30 days after the bill becomes law.
The goal of the bill is to help American sheep farmers by making imported meat and wool more expensive, which encourages shoppers and companies to buy American-grown products instead.
Families who buy lamb meat or wool clothing might see higher prices at the grocery store or clothing shops because Australia and New Zealand are the top suppliers of these items to the United States.
