To suspend temporarily the duty on certain rubber or plastic footwear.

H.R. 1221 is a legislative proposal that would temporarily eliminate import taxes, known as duties, on specific types of rubber or plastic footwear entering the United States. If enacted, these tax suspensions would remain in effect through December 31, 2009. For everyday citizens, this measure is intended to lower the costs for businesses importing these goods, which can lead to more competitive pricing for consumers at retail stores.
