House passes bill to suspend tariffs on imported infant formula base powders
The House today passed legislation that would suspend through 2022 tariffs on certain infant formula base powders used to make infant formula in the United States. Congress in July passed legislation (H.R.8351) suspending tariffs on imported infant formula through 2022. The Food and Drug Administration has allowed formula imports to help address a U.S. formula shortage, but tariffs have increased the retail cost of these products. The Department of Health and Human Services offers a webpage to help health care providers and families locate formula.
