After the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s IEEPA‑based global tariffs, U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Richard Eaton ruled that all importers who paid those now‑invalid duties are entitled to refunds with interest, centralized refund litigation in his court, and ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to begin a broad administrative refund process and remove IEEPA duties from pending imports. Government exposure is estimated between roughly $130 billion and $175 billion, CBP is building an electronic portal to process claims, and the administration has indicated it may appeal or seek delays even as appeals courts have declined to stay the refund process.
