Contact Congress about H.R. 4673: Ending Normal Trade Relations with China Act of 2023

All goods from China would face generally higher U.S. tariffs two years after the bill became law. The President could raise those tariffs even more.

Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Ending Normal Trade Relations with China Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects U.S. companies that buy parts or finished goods from China. They would pay higher tariffs after two years and might change suppliers or raise prices. Shoppers could pay more if businesses pass along those costs. U.S. manufacturers and workers could also feel the effects if companies move production away from China.

Why this matters: Chinese goods now receive standard U.S. tariff rates, but this bill would replace them with generally higher rates. That could change what businesses pay and where they make or buy products. Some added costs could reach shoppers. It could also change U.S.-China trade ties, but the full effect would depend on future tariff decisions and how China and businesses respond.

Key provisions in H.R. 4673

• Products from the People’s Republic of China would lose normal trade status two years after the bill became law.
• Once the two years passed, the Trade Act of 1974 could no longer give Chinese goods normal trade treatment.
• Every Chinese product would face column 2 rates from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, the official U.S. tariff list. Those rates are generally higher than standard rates.
• The President could set tariffs on Chinese products above the column 2 rates.
• The bill would take priority over conflicting parts of Public Law 106-286 and other laws that support normal trade relations with China.
