Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander helped introduce bipartisan legislation with Representatives Ro Khanna (CA-17), Don Bacon (NE-02), and Don Beyer (VA-08), the No Coffee Tax Act, which will repeal the Trump Administration’s unlawful tariffs on coffee and lower costs for consumers.
“Donald Trump’s unilateral tax on coffee has jacked up the cost of a cup for the more than 200 million Americans who drink coffee,” said Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander. “Our commonsense, bipartisan bill will cut this senseless tax that you’re paying every day.”
The U.S. is the largest importer of coffee in the world. Brazil, the top source for U.S. coffee, has faced a 50% tariff under the Trump administration’s tariff policy, contributing to a surge in prices. U.S. retail coffee prices increased by nearly 21% last month compared to the same month last year. The No Coffee Tax Act will bring coffee tariffs back to the level they were the day before Trump took office. That level was 0% on everything other than coffee substitutes containing coffee.
