Trusted Importer and Competitive Manufacturing Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Commerce, within 180 days, to create a program that certifies importers as "Trusted Importers" based on trade-law compliance, supply chain security, financial stability, and support for U.S. manufacturing. Certified importers would receive a 10-year general import license, renewable for another 10 years, allowing them to pay reduced or waived tariffs on certain goods as set by the President. Tariffs from antidumping, countervailing duty, or safeguard actions, tariffs imposed before January 1, 2025, and rates below the standard column 1 tariff schedule could not be reduced. Licenses could be revoked for violations such as fraud or smuggling, certain foreign-linked entities would be ineligible, and agencies would report to Congress every two years.
