To suspend temporarily the duty on 2-chloro-N-(4chlorobiphenyl-2-yl) nicotinamide.

H.R. 2857 is a legislative proposal that would have temporarily eliminated import taxes, known as duties, on a specific chemical compound used as a fungicide. By suspending these tariffs through the end of 2004, the bill aimed to lower the cost for American companies to import this ingredient, which is primarily used to protect agricultural crops from fungal diseases. For the average citizen, such measures are typically intended to reduce production costs for farmers and chemical manufacturers, which can help stabilize prices for agricultural products and food supplies.
