What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Creating Access to Necessary American-Canadian Duty Adjustments Act" or the "CANADA Act," aims to provide relief to small businesses. It seeks to exempt certain goods from specific duties imposed by a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025. These duties were established via Executive Order 14193 and subsequently amended by Executive Orders 14197 and 14226. The exemption would apply to goods imported by or for the use of small business concerns. Small businesses are defined according to section 3 of the Small Business Act.
