Some Canadian Exporters Could Get Refunds After 'Liberation Day' Tariffs Struck Down

The refund process could return billions to firms that paid the struck-down levies, but it requires U.S. customs and bank accounts.

  • Canadian small businesses may now claim refunds for U.S. tariffs ruled unconstitutional, though sectoral levies on steel and aluminum remain in place and are excluded from the rebate process.
  • President Donald Trump imposed these tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act last year, but the U.S. Supreme Court found that Trump usurped Congress's tax-setting role when establishing the import rates.
  • The CFIB estimates roughly one-quarter of exporters acted as the "importer of record," making them eligible for rebates, though Michelle Auger noted the system is "very complicated" to navigate.
  • Richard Martin, CEO of Dynamo Industries Inc., decided against applying for a refund despite paying tariffs, citing the "intense" documentation and stating the burden is "absolutely ridiculous" for companies.
  • U.S. Customs and Border Protection stated approved claims take 60 to 90 days for issuance, while Auger noted that businesses have endured significant "turbulence" since last year managing various levies.
