Spice company sues US government over broad tariffs

Ethan Frisch, co-founder of the spice company Burlap & Barrel, is suing the U.S. government over tariffs imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Frisch argues that these tariffs, which were implemented after a previous round was deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, do not follow statutory procedures and are overly broad. The legal challenge, which also involves a separate suit concerning tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act, highlights concerns about executive overreach and the impact of these trade policies on small businesses.
