## Summary

**Targets tariff evasion by companies tied to nonmarket economy countries.** The bill would let the United States Trade Representative (USTR) open inquiries and impose duties on goods made in third countries when firms from those nonmarket economies shift production to avoid section 301 tariffs. - Covered entities face duties when they are owned, controlled, or directed by a nonmarket economy country. The bill defines covered entities to include firms with at least 25% equity held by such a country in the past 12 months. - The United States Trade Representative could self-initiate inquiries or act on requests from Congress or interested parties, must decide to open an inquiry within 45 days, and would have up to 180 days to make an affirmative finding. - If the USTR finds evasion it could impose remedial measures on the covered entity and on goods produced in the third country, including duties at least equal to the corresponding section 301 duty, lasting as long as the section 301 remedial action or the nonmarket country's control persists.

- Who counts as a covered entity: mixed, medium. The bill would set who counts as a "covered entity."

Holdings through co‑investment vehicles, joint ventures, derivatives, or contracts that mimic returns would…
- Trade office must explain no-action decisions: mixed, low. If the Trade Representative finishes an inquiry but does not impose a measure, the bill would require a written report to Congress. The report would explain why and describe the social and economic impacts of not acting. This is a transparency rule and would not itself add duties or fees.
