## Summary

**Creates a Trusted Importer Program to certify importers for reduced or waived tariffs that aim to boost U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and secure supply chains.** This bill would have the Department of Commerce run the program with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and require initial implementation within 180 days after enactment. - Importers: Eligible firms would be certified on four criteria: compliance with trade laws, supply chain security and controls, financial solvency and capacity, and promotion of U.S. manufacturing. Certified firms would get a general import license that could reduce or waive tariffs on covered articles and would remain valid for 10 years with possible 10-year renewal. - Manufacturers and trade policy: The President, coordinating with Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative, could reduce or waive duties on imports by Trusted Importers to strengthen domestic manufacturers and protect supply chains. The authority could not cut duties tied to countervailing or antidumping orders, section 201 investigations, duties imposed before January 1, 2025, or below column 1 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. - Oversight and enforcement: Commerce and CBP would handle reporting, verification, and enforcement and could suspend or revoke licenses for fraud, violations, smuggling, national security risks, or other abuses. The agencies must report every two years to the House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee on licenses, import volumes, compliance actions, and impacts on U.S. manufacturing.
