CTA's Consumer Technology Industry Tariff Impact Snapshot — released during CTA Trade Week — shows consumer technology importers paid $23.5 billion in tariffs in 2025, more than five times the prior year. The average industry tariff rate rose from 1% to a peak of 7%, with gaming consoles, wireless headphones and smart home devices seeing the steepest increases.

The tech startup market is highly competitive, and M&A allows startups to focus on building and encourages investment. CTA urges the @FTC & @TheJusticeDept to reconsider changes to the reporting system that would add unnecessary friction to acquisitions. https://t.co/ojBw1oCmLq

[FTC @FTC]

FTC and @JusticeATR seek public comment on the premerger notification and report form. Comments will inform potential HSR rulemaking that seeks to reduce the burden for non-problematic transactions while also making necessary updates: https://t.co/DNjHviMCta

The AM radio mandate in the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act moves us  in the wrong direction. Consumers should decide in-car entertainment and communication options. Mandating legacy tech  in every vehicle raises costs, freezes innovation, and discourages better alternatives.
