this is all the info they have on the bill that i could find.
here is the website that i found it at: https://www.congress.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/R?d108:FLD010:+@eq+20040212
That's what I thought it was saying as well. The duty on the assembly of the screens. That would mean cheaper LCD and Plasma TV's !!
