Bill Summary
A BILL To require a study on the manner and extent to which the tariff rates assessed by the United States on imports are regressive or demonstrate a gender bias, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and in consultation with other government agencies, to conduct a study on the manner and extent to which the tariff rates and revenues collected by the United States on imported goods are regressive (i.e., place a higher burden on mass-market consumer goods compared to luxury goods) and demonstrate a gender bias (i.e., are higher on women's clothing compared to men's clothing). The study must also analyze the effects of these tariffs on different consumer groups based on gender, household type, and income level, and consider any other relevant matters related to the unequal burden of tariffs on certain categories of consumers or households in the United States.
