No GOUGE Act

This bill would ban selling goods affected by tariffs imposed or announced since January 20, 2025, at prices raised by more than the costs the tariff directly causes, plus certain other documented costs. The ban would last five years after each tariff takes effect or is announced, and would not apply to companies with less than $100 million in yearly U.S. sales of goods. Companies with at least $1 billion in sales that raise prices soon after major tariff changes would be presumed to be in violation unless they prove the increase came from tariff-related costs. The Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general could enforce the ban, the FTC would set up a way for consumers to report violations, and federal agencies would report yearly to Congress on prices of tariffed goods.
