Trump Tariff Policy

Judge Eaton ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to begin immediately recalculating entries and issuing refunds — with statutory interest — to all importers who paid Trump‑era IEEPA tariffs the Supreme Court invalidated, centralizing refund claims in the Court of International Trade and denying government requests to pause implementation. CBP says it will build a streamlined electronic refund process (targeted in roughly 45 days) even as estimates of refundable duties range from about $130 billion to $180 billion and analysts warn delays could add hundreds of millions in interest, prompting a wave of lawsuits and political demands to return the money to affected businesses and consumers.
