Today’s SCOTUS ruling should encourage the administration to refocus and expand its Section 232 efforts.
The Senate Finance Committee agrees on two things: First, the U.S. Mexico and Canada Agreement (USMCA) isn’t perfect and a number of issues need fixing. Second, they don’t want tariffs.
CPA strongly supports Senator Cassidy and Whitehouse’s Last Sale Valuation Act because it closes a long-standing loophole that has allowed multinational importers to artificially understate the value of goods entering the United States.
The Tax Foundation’s calculation simply assumes the approximate $132 billion in new 2025 tariff revenue is paid directly by households, dividing that figure across 134.8 million households to produce an average estimate of a $1,000 annual burden per household.
