Maddy summaryThe End Trump's Tariff Tax Act terminates specific import duties imposed under recent trade investigations and repeals two statutory authorities used to impose tariffs for forced labor violations, balance-of-payments issues, and foreign discrimination. The bill requires the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner to automatically refund all duties collected during specified periods in 2026, along with interest, without requiring importers to submit formal requests or documentation.

It requires regulators to terminate existing banking charters and licenses for institutions that received approval after January 20, 2025, while such officials maintained control. Additionally, the law makes it unlawful for the President, Vice President, or their spouses and children to hold any controlling influence over a bank, mandating immediate termination of those banks' federal privileges if compliance is not achieved within 30 days of inauguration.
