HR 6500 extends trade preference programs that allow most exports from eligible sub-Saharan African countries to enter the U.S. market without tariffs. The bill extends duty-free access through December 31, 2028, under two main programs: the Generalized System of Preferences and the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which currently covers 32 countries. The extension also applies to special provisions for apparel from these countries, including a rule allowing lesser-developed beneficiary nations to use fabrics from non-African countries in apparel production while still qualifying for duty-free treatment. Additionally, the bill extends certain customs user fees and merchandise processing fees through December 31, 2031.

The bill also addresses duties paid on African exports that entered the U.S. between September 30, 2025, and the date the bill becomes law. Importers can request refunds of these duties from U.S. Customs and Border Protection by providing information that allows officials to locate or reconstruct the original shipment entry. Customs must process and issue any approved refunds within 90 days of receiving a complete request.
