Terminating the national emergency declared to impose duties on articles imported from Brazil.

H.J.Res. 147 is a binding joint resolution introduced by Representative Gregory Meeks (D-NY) that would end the national emergency declaration currently in effect regarding duties imposed on articles imported from Brazil. If enacted, this resolution would revoke the emergency authority being used to apply tariffs on Brazilian goods.

As a binding joint resolution, this measure would have the force of law if passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President. The practical effect of this bill, if enacted, would be to eliminate the tariff regime on Brazilian imports that was established under the national emergency declaration. This could potentially lower prices on Brazilian goods for American consumers and businesses that rely on Brazilian imports, though the specific tariff rates and product categories affected would depend on the details of the current emergency declaration being terminated.

The bill was introduced on February 2, 2026, and is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to committee. It has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
