Businesses Inch Closer to Billions in Tariff Refunds. Here's What's Next.
The Court of International Trade directs CBP to issue refunds and finalize import entries without Trump-era tariffs after the Supreme Court invalidated them last month.
- On Wednesday, Senior Judge Richard Eaton ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate unprocessed entries and reliquidate processed ones without regard to IEEPA levies.
- Following the Supreme Court's last month ruling, the IEEPA levies instituted last year by President Donald Trump were struck down, addressing the policy basis of those tariffs.
- Liquidation occurs after a roughly 300-day window, with CBP removing IEEPA charges for estimated-but-unpaid entries, while already liquidated entries pose the greatest complexity.
- Importers should expect refunds to arrive, but not automatically; ACH-enrolled shippers will receive funds faster, experts advise monitoring liquidation dates and registering for electronic refunds.
- Amid legal uncertainty, authorities face hurdles including federal court authority, with Husisian stating 'As such, we believe there is a 100% chance that this will be appealed', making final relief uncertain.
