The Chamber of Commerce is calling for an "automatic exclusion" from new tariffs for U.S. small businesses that import goods from abroad.

Small businesses do not have the margin or capital reserves to survive an increase in tariffs, the Chamber says.

Small business owners are being forced to make difficult decisions about how to operate as a result of tariffs.
