What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "American CANS Act," proposes an amendment to the Tariff Act of 1930. It specifically targets agricultural products that are packaged in a can. The legislation requires that the required country-of-origin labeling be placed on either the front label of the can or printed, stamped, or embossed on the top of the can. This change would apply to agricultural products imported after a specific timeframe. The amendment takes effect 18 months after the Act is enacted.
