Trade Cheating Restitution Act of 2025

This bill changes a 2015 trade law so that interest collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on antidumping and countervailing duties since October 1, 2000 can be paid out, instead of only certain interest collected since October 1, 2014. Interest from fiscal years ending before the bill becomes law would be paid in a special distribution, funded from a Treasury refund account. To qualify, a person must have received a past payment under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000, file a certification on time, and meet that law's eligibility rules. Payments would be split proportionally by duty order, with interest from October 2010 onward paid within 210 days of enactment and interest from 2000 to 2010 paid within 210 days after that.
