What this bill would do

This bill is called the "No Coffee Tax Act." It aims to stop the government from adding new tariffs on coffee imported from countries that have normal trade relations with the United States. It ensures that tariffs on these coffee products do not go above the rates that were in place on January 19, 2025. This applies to roasted, decaffeinated, and non-roasted coffee, as well as coffee husks, skins, and coffee substitutes.
