What this bill would do

This bill is called the "No Tariffs on Groceries Act." It limits the President's power to put duties on articles of food. The President cannot impose these duties unless they send a request to Congress and Congress approves it with an Act. This rule does not apply to existing tariff-rate quotas. The bill defines articles of food to include food and drink for humans and animals, their components, and items like seeds and fertilizers.
