This bill provides assistance to eligible companies relocating manufacturing from China to a qualifying Latin American or Caribbean country, generally a country in the region that has a free trade agreement with the United States and is not a foreign adversary.

The bill also provides tax benefits related to certain property acquired and placed in service in connection with such a relocation of manufacturing.
