Court orders Customs chief to appear at tariff refunds hearing

The government said it can process about $127 billion of the $166 billion collected, raising questions about full compliance with refund orders.

  • On Wednesday, the Court of International Trade ordered Commissioner Rodney Scott to appear at a June 9 hearing in New York to answer Judge Richard Eaton's questions about the administration's tariff refund compliance.
  • The Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act earlier this year, ordering the administration to return all revenue collected from the invalidated levies.
  • Roughly 330,000 importers paid a combined $166 billion under the tariff scheme, yet the government stated in an April filing it could only process refunds for about $127 billion.
  • Eaton expressed concern about 'millions' of entries for which the government has 'not presented a proposal' for repayment, citing delays since the Supreme Court's ruling.
  • Trump warned he would remember companies that apply for refunds, while simultaneously pursuing a 10 percent global tariff scheme that currently faces intense legal scrutiny.
