## Summary

**Creates a tariff refund program** that would let large importers recover tariffs paid under an authority later found invalid, while forcing or incentivizing those importers to pass savings to consumers for essential goods. - Families and shoppers could see lower prices on essentials when importers demonstrate reductions. Essential consumer goods include infant formula, diapers, hygiene products, SNAP-eligible foods, basic clothing, and low-cost children's toys. - Large importers would qualify only if they paid at least $5 million in tariffs by Feb. 19, 2026 and if their ultimate parent earned at least $10 million in 2025. Applicants must explain how refunds will lower customer prices, provide rebates to prior customers, or show they absorbed tariff costs. - The Treasury Secretary would write regulations within 30 days in consultation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other agencies. Refunds are scheduled to be issued within 180 days and would be prioritized for importers who credibly lower prices for essential goods or create rebate mechanisms for customers.

Refunds would be available only to "covered importers" that paid $5,000,000 or more in those tariffs as of Feb 19, 2026…
