Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would primarily affect businesses that import goods into the U.S., potentially reducing their operating costs through lower tariffs. Consumers might see lower prices on imported products if companies pass these savings along, though the actual impact depends on which products qualify and how the certification program is structured. American manufacturers competing with imported goods could face increased competition if foreign products become cheaper to import.
