 A BILL

 To require a study on the manner and extent to which the tariff rates 
assessed by the United States on imports are regressive or demonstrate 
 a gender bias, and for other purposes.

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

 This Act may be cited as the ``Pink Tariffs Study Act''.

SEC. 2. STUDY REQUIRED.

 Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the Commissioner of 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection and in consultation with the United 
States International Trade Commission and the United States Trade 
Representative, shall submit to Congress the results of a study of the 
manner and extent to which the rates of tariffs and the revenues 
collected from tariffs assessed by the United States on articles 
imported into the customs territory of the United States--

    (1) are regressive with respect to the degree to which the 
 burden of such tariffs fall on consumers (such as tariffs that 
 are higher on mass-market consumer goods as compared to 
 analogous luxury goods), including an analysis of the manner 
 and extent to which importation of the applicable goods is 
 foregone to avoid the burden of the tariff;

    (2) demonstrate a bias with respect to the gender of 
 consumer most likely to import such article (such as tariffs 
 that are higher on clothing classifiable as women's clothing as 
 compared to men's clothing);

    (3) a disaggregation of the effects described in paragraphs

    (1) and

    (2) with respect to consumers based on gender and 
 household type (single-parent families, double-parent families, 
 other) and income level; and

    (4) such other matters relating to the manner and extent to 
 which the burden of tariffs assessed by the United States on 
 imports falls unequally among certain categories of consumers 
 or households in the United States as the Secretary may 
 determine relevant.
