Step 2: The money should be put into a trust.

Here's the thing: If the money is returned to businesses and they keep it, it's a windfall as they already were reimbursed by the consumers/customers. The money really should be returned to the consumers/customers, but the problem is the distribution of the assets. How to prove it.

GOT IT!!!

Put the collected monies from the tariff into the General Accounting and give either tax rebates or tax breaks to the Middle Class and lower income Americans for 2025. Remember Shrub with "It's YOUR money!" Well, in this case, it is. Return the stolen assets from the consumers/customers to all American middle class and lower income taxpayers.
