Introduced Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

This bill requires sellers to display to consumers the portion of a product's price that results from tariffs imposed by the President since January 20, 2025, labeling it as a "tariff surcharge" in a clear and conspicuous manner. Small business concerns are exempt from this requirement. The Federal Trade Commission may issue regulations to implement the requirement and enforce violations as unfair or deceptive practices under the FTC Act. The requirement takes effect 30 days after the bill becomes law. The provision applies only to tariffs imposed on an emergency or discretionary basis by the President on or after January 20, 2025.
