Customs Bill: What’s Next?
Written by Sandy Williams
There has been some confusion over the customs bill that was passed by the House last week. The bill, HR 644 – Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015, was not part of the TAA/TPA package (HR 1314).
Passage of the House bill will send it to committee where it will be reconciled with the bill the Senate passed called ENFORCE (Enforcing Orders and Reducing Customs Evasion). The version that emerges from Committee will need to be voted on again by both the House and Senate.
