Foreign-Trade Zone Export Enhancement Act of 2025

This bill changes federal tariff law for goods handled in U.S. foreign-trade zones. It creates a new duty-free tariff category, heading 9801.00.95, for merchandise that is subject to the duty deferral limits of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), is admitted into a U.S. foreign-trade zone, is manufactured or changed in condition there, and is then withdrawn for direct export to Mexico or Canada. Articles in this category, and components of such articles, would enter free of duty. U.S. Customs and Border Protection would have to issue rules to carry out these changes within 90 days after the bill becomes law.
