White Gray#e7ebef Backgorund – President Trump’s USMCA succeeded in shifting manufacturing imports away from China to North America. In this new phase of U.S. trade policy, strengthening the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement will be critical in helping North America restore balance and combat disruptive, problematic trade practices coming out of other countries, specifically China.

How It Works: Self-Certification Under a “General License”
- General licenses would provide preexisting approval for any company meeting the criteria to import qualifying items free of duty.
- Use would be self-determined by eligible parties, subject to U.S. Customs and Border Protection verification.
- The president can direct the Treasury to implement the program under existing authorities.
What Qualifies for a General License?
- Materials transferred intercompany and used for further processing in the U.S.
- Materials, equipment, machinery, and parts used in manufacturing or maintenance.
- Essential raw materials, chemicals, and other inputs in limited supply but needed for U.S. manufacturing.
- Materials for R&D in the U.S.
2. A Manufacturing Investment Accelerator Rebate
uses col-3 for block
The administration should provide a rebate to offset tariff costs when dollars are spent to expand or maintain manufacturing investments in the U.S. The rebate should be available on a rolling basis for actual dollars spent after April 5, 2025.
What Qualifies for a Rebate?
- Dollars spent on new greenfield or brownfield investments.
- Dollars spent on expanding or upgrading existing capacity, including capital improvements and maintenance.
- Dollars spent to add full-time manufacturing employment.
- Dollars spent on R&D in the U.S.

1
Go for Zero-for-Zero Tariffs
We’re calling on negotiators to secure better terms for manufacturers by adopting zero-for-zero tariffs for American-made products in our trading partners’ markets. That means they don’t charge us, and we don’t charge them.
-
2
Secure Access to Inputs That Power U.S. Production
More than half of U.S. imports are manufacturing inputs. These include critical minerals, chemicals and machinery essential for making things in America. On the path to zero-for-zero, we urge negotiators not to put tariffs on specific manufacturing inputs we need to make things in America.
-
3
Create American Investment Incentives
If tariffs remain in place, we propose specific incentives, such as tariff rebates for manufacturing companies investing in manufacturing in the U.S. to accelerate the growth of the American industrial base.
-
1Oppose initiatives that tip the balance away from current legal precedent with respect to union organizing, appropriate bargaining unit sizes and expanded definitions of key labor terms.
-
2Promote 21st-century workplace ideas that incentivize employees to remain and grow in the manufacturing sector, such as options for compensatory time o
-
3Reestablish collaborative approaches with employers and create effective federal advisory councils to address workplace safety needs, equal employment opportunities and a diverse workplace.
-
4Support legislation that guarantees employee choice and freedom of association.
-
5Codify clear, uniform and workable federal nondiscrimination protections for all employees in the workplace.
-
6Ensure meaningful and effective oversight of key workplace regulators, such as the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Wage and Hour Division, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the National Labor Relations Board, to promote smart and fair regulatory approaches.
