Australia and New Zealand are the two largest foreign suppliers of lamb and wool to the United States. The bill would add a 30 percent tariff on all sheep and lamb products imported from those two countries — including meat, wool, and pelts — beginning 30 days after enactment. The new duty would stack on top of any existing tariffs, raising the cost of those goods at the U.S. border. Tariffs of this kind are typically passed through to the retail prices paid by households for groceries and wool products.
