Housing Tariff Exclusion Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Commerce to set up a process for U.S. businesses and their associations to ask that products used to build or furnish homes be excluded from tariffs above the rates in effect on January 19, 2025. The Secretary would have to grant exclusions for listed critical homebuilding products, and for other products when the tariff would raise home construction costs and customs officials could likely administer the exclusion. Decisions would be due within 15 days for critical products and 60 days for others. Importers could request refunds, without interest, of extra tariffs paid after the bill's enactment and before an exclusion was granted. Results would be published online, and the Secretary would report to Congress every quarter.
