To suspend temporarily the duty on certain leather basketballs.

H.R. 2818 was a legislative proposal designed to temporarily eliminate the import taxes, or duties, on specific types of leather basketballs brought into the United States. If enacted, the bill would have suspended these tariffs through December 31, 2009, potentially lowering the costs for businesses that import these goods. For everyday citizens, such a measure is typically intended to reduce retail prices for consumers and support domestic sports equipment suppliers by lowering their overhead expenses.
