Trade Cheating Restitution: Extending Duty Refunds for US Businesses.

This bill aims to support American companies harmed by unfair trade practices, primarily from China. It changes the rules for distributing antidumping and countervailing duties, extending the period from which these funds can be returned to affected businesses back to the year 2000. This means more money collected at the border will go to domestic producers who suffered losses due to unfairly priced imported goods.
Key points
Extends the duty refund period: Funds collected since October 1, 2000 (instead of 2014) can now be distributed to harmed companies.
Provides greater financial support for US businesses affected by unfair imports.
The change modifies how Customs and Border Protection (CBP) manages collected trade duties.
