This bill would stop the federal government from adding import taxes to many baby and kids’ toys and gear. It tells the President to remove any current import taxes on these items that were put in place using emergency economic powers, and says similar taxes put in place under other rules would not count either.

The items covered include products for children under three, tricycles, scooters, and pedal cars, playpens and play yards, baby swings, and educational toys for babies and children.

• Who is affected: Families buying baby and kids’ toys and gear; toy stores and importers of these items.
• What changes: Import taxes on the listed items would be removed and could not be added using emergency powers; similar taxes under other authorities would have no effect.
• When: Removal would happen when the bill becomes law, ending any such taxes in place at that time.
