Proposed tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese goods would include
printed materials, which would especially affect Bibles and children’s
books predominantly produced in China because of the unique paper,
printing technology and skills needed, company and trade group officials
testified during the second day of a seven-day hearing on the proposed
duties Tuesday. “We
believe the administration was unaware of the potential negative impact
these proposed tariffs would have on Bibles and that it never intended
to impose ‘a Bible tax’ on consumers and religious organizations,” Mark
Schoenwald, chief executive officer of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, told a panel of officials at the U.S. International Trade Commission.
