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 request exclusions from certain tariffs on products used to build or furnish homes. The tariffs covered are those above the rates in effect on January 19, 2025, not counting antidumping, countervailing, or section 201 duties, and rare earth elements are left out. The Secretary would have to grant exclusions for a listed set of building products and for other products not available in sufficient quantities from U.S. sources. Requests would have to be decided within 15 or 60 days, results would be published online, and importers could seek refunds for duties paid between the bill's enactment and the exclusion. New exclusions could not be granted on or after October 1, 2029.
