“The amendments made by this subsection shall take effect on July 1, 2027.”
The section strikes the words creating the commercial shipment exception from section 321(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930 and repeals the new civil penalty subsection, both with effect from July 1, 2027.
What the document actually says
“The amendments made by this subsection shall take effect on July 1, 2027.”
That sentence, in plain words
The changes start on July 1, 2027.
What this is about
From that day commercial shipments lose the low value route. The new fine is wiped out at the same time. It is no longer needed.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
