MTB COALITION

The Misc. Tariff Bill (MTB) process allows for the enactment of legislation to temporarily reduce or suspend the U.S. import duties on products that are not manufactured in the United States. These duty suspension bills, which have been regularly considered by Congress for decades, can help boost the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers, their workers, and the broader U.S. economy by eliminating costs for key inputs. The MTB provides buy ventolin savings for companies whose imports do not compete with domestic production. Petitions are carefully vetted by the U.S. International Trade Commission and Executive Branch agencies to ensure they will be non-controversial and will not adversely impact the U.S. domestic manufacturing base. At each step of the way, IBC works with companies throughout the duty suspension process, from preparation of product-specific petitions to final enactment of the MTB in Congress.
