## Summary

This bill would require sellers to show the portion of a consumer price caused by certain presidential tariffs and label that amount the **"tariff surcharge"**. The disclosure would take effect 30 days after enactment and would not apply to small businesses as defined in the Small Business Act. - Consumers and families would see a clear, labeled "tariff surcharge" so they can tell how much of a purchase price comes from covered tariffs. - Small businesses would be exempt from the disclosure requirement under the Small Business Act. - Sellers and retailers would need to display the surcharge on sales; failing to do so would be treated as an unfair or deceptive act and could trigger FTC penalties. - The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rule using its existing powers under the FTC Act and could issue regulations to implement the requirement.
