• Identifies products potentially eligible for zero reciprocal tariffs, including goods unavailable in sufficient U.S. quantities, certain agricultural goods, aircraft and parts, and non-patented pharmaceutical-use articles.
• Directs officials to monitor trade deficits, tariff and non-tariff barriers, domestic manufacturing, and the defense industrial base.
• Requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to issue lawful duty refunds when implementing an agreement requires them.
