Baby Food Tax Relief Act

This bill would stop the federal government from charging import taxes (tariffs) on certain baby-care items if those taxes were put in place using emergency economic powers. It also says any similar tariffs on these items, set under other authorities, would no longer have any effect. If the bill becomes law, any such tariffs already in place must be ended right away. Covered items include baby bottles, breast pumps, highchairs and booster seats, nursing nipples, and baby formula.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Families with babies, retailers, and importers of baby-care products.
• What changes: No tariffs on listed baby items under emergency economic powers; similar tariffs under other authorities would be nullified; any current tariffs on these items must be ended.
• When: Once this becomes law, the change takes effect immediately for any existing tariffs on these items.
