To extend the temporary suspension of duty on ethofumesate.
Summary
H.R. 3342 is a bipartisan-supported proposal that would extend the existing tax exemption on ethofumesate, a specialized herbicide used primarily to control weeds in crops like sugar beets and turfgrass. By continuing the suspension of this import duty through December 31, 2008, the bill aims to keep production costs lower for American farmers and landscaping businesses that rely on this chemical. This measure is intended to help maintain stable prices for consumers on related agricultural products by reducing the financial burden on the domestic supply chain.
