Trump plans to appeal order allowing all importers that paid struck-down tariffs to seek refunds
The Justice Department says it cannot recalculate liquidated accounts without importer-specific orders as $85 billion in claims moves through the refund system.
- Businesses have started receiving tariff refunds after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled President Donald Trump lacked constitutional authority to impose import taxes, with the Treasury Department issuing $20.6 billion in repayments so far.
- The Supreme Court invalidated country-specific tariff rates in a 6-3 decision, citing the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act; Customs and Border Protection processes claims in phases, prioritizing earlier payments.
- Toy maker Basic Fun received 7% of its claim, while Greenbar Distillery owner Melkon Khosrovian received $18,000 of his $90,000 request; retailers Walmart and Costco plan to use refunds to lower customer prices.
- The Trump administration intends to appeal a federal judge's order allowing all companies to seek refunds, prompting Judge Richard K. Eaton to demand clarification on whether the government will return all collected funds.
- Amid reports of a "total slow roll" in processing, Judge Eaton scheduled a June 9 hearing to determine whether he should require the government to accelerate repayments for approximately 330,000 eligible importers.
