HR 747 United States House · 119th Congress

Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act of 2025

This bill amends U.S. sanctions law to target Chinese entities and officials involved in fentanyl trafficking. It redefines "foreign opioid trafficker" to include Chinese chemical companies or government officials (like those in the National Narcotics Control Commission) that fail to prevent fentanyl precursor trafficking or cooperate with U.S. efforts. Key mechanisms include requiring China to implement stricter chemical shipment labeling and "know-your-customer" procedures, extending sanctions periods from 5 to 10 years, and mandating annual presidential reports to Congress on drug trafficking emergencies. The bill explicitly excludes importation of goods from sanctions coverage.

What changed between versions

Introduced in House Engrossed in House · 2 edits · Sep 2, 2025
MINOR
Two changes were made between the introduced and engrossed versions of HR 747. First, a committee name was corrected from 'Oversight and Accountability' to 'Oversight and Government Reform.' Second, the exception for importation of goods was broadened: it now exempts goods imports from all sanctions authorities in the Act, rather than only from the specific requirement to block and prohibit all transactions in property.
TECHNICAL

Corrected the name of a House committee from 'Committee on Oversight and Accountability' to 'Committee on Oversight and Government Reform,' which is the actual name of that committee.

SCOPE

Broadened the exception for importation of goods. The original text only exempted goods imports from the specific requirement to block and prohibit all transactions in property. The revised text exempts goods imports from all authorities and requirements to impose sanctions under the Act, making the carve-out significantly wider.
