Relating to: requiring certain sales invoices and sales receipts to include tariff costs.
SB 438 requires large retailers to clearly show the total tariff cost (import tax) on each sales invoice or receipt for consumer goods. It applies to businesses that sold $3 million or more in consumer goods during the previous calendar year. The law mandates that these documents must list the tariff cost separately from the product price, making it visible to shoppers. This affects major retailers selling consumer goods, not small businesses or services. The bill aims to increase transparency about how import taxes impact final product pricing.
