This bill, titled the "Pink Tariffs Study Act," requires the Secretary of the Treasury to conduct a comprehensive study on the nature of U.S. import tariff rates. The primary goal is to assess whether these tariffs are regressive , meaning they disproportionately burden consumers, such as higher tariffs on mass-market goods compared to luxury items. Additionally, the study will investigate if tariff rates demonstrate a gender bias , for instance, by being higher on articles predominantly consumed by one gender, like women's clothing versus men's clothing. It also mandates a detailed disaggregation of these effects across different consumer demographics, including gender, household types (single-parent, double-parent, other), and income levels. The Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and in consultation with other trade agencies, must submit the study's findings to Congress within one year of the Act's enactment, along with any other relevant matters concerning the unequal burden of tariffs on U.S. consumers and households.
