Trump Admin Appeals Universal Tariff Refund Order

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Trump administration is appealing a federal judge's order that mandated universal tariff refunds for all U.S. importers. The administration argues that refunds should only be issued to importers who specifically sued to recover funds from illegal tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Department of Justice contends that the judge exceeded his authority by ordering universal refunds and that the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) cannot issue refunds without a court order for importers who have already completed the liquidation process.
