To suspend temporarily the duty on a certain mixture of fungicide.
Summary
H.R. 3223 is a legislative proposal that would have temporarily eliminated import taxes on a specific type of fungicide mixture used to protect crops from disease. The bill specifically targeted mixtures containing the active ingredient Quinoxyfen, which is commonly used by farmers to control powdery mildew in grapes, hops, and various fruits and vegetables. By suspending these duties through the end of 2008, the bill aimed to lower the cost of essential agricultural chemicals for American farmers, potentially reducing production costs and helping to keep food prices stable for consumers. This bill was referred to the House Subcommittee on Trade but did not advance further to become law.
