Plain-English summary

Import Security and Fairness Act This bill excludes imported articles from nonmarket economy countries or countries on the Priority Watch List from receiving de minimis treatment. (Current law allows for imports under a de minimis threshold to enter the United States free of tariffs and taxes with minimal inspection. In 2016, Congress raised this threshold from $200 to $800. ) Under current law, a nonmarket economy country is any foreign country that the Department of Commerce determines does not operate on market principles of cost or pricing structures, so that sales of merchandise in such country do not reflect the fair value of the merchandise.
