As manufacturers continue to lead America’s economic recovery, they’re doing so in the face of a real—and avoidable—challenge. Because Congress has failed to act, manufacturers in the United States have been operating without a Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB) since January, which has led to higher prices, greater difficulty in competing with businesses overseas and harm to American workers.

It boosts American competitiveness and ensures that U.S.-made products are competitive with products manufactured outside of the country.
