## Summary

**Ban on price gouging for tariffed goods.** This bill would let the Federal Trade Commission stop excessive price hikes tied to new or planned tariffs and set rules for when increases are unreasonable. - Families and shoppers: Would limit sudden price spikes on goods affected by new or planned tariffs for a 5-year window after a tariff-related shock. The law uses the 180-day pre-tariff average price as the baseline to judge excess increases. - Small sellers and manufacturers: Companies whose ultimate parent earned less than $100 million in U.S. gross revenue in the prior 12 months would be exempt from a per-section rule. That exemption level is adjusted annually for inflation. - Enforcement and transparency: The FTC would enforce violations under its unfair or deceptive acts standard and apply FTC Act penalties. The bill requires consumer-reporting channels within 180 days and annual joint price reports from the International Trade Commission and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, plus an FTC enforcement report.
