US court weighs $166B tariff refund eligibility for all importers

A U.S. court is deliberating the distribution of $166 billion in tariff refunds, stemming from a Supreme Court ruling that found certain tariffs imposed by President Trump to be illegal. The core dispute centers on whether all companies that paid these tariffs should be eligible for refunds, or only those that actively sued to challenge them. While the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has begun processing some refunds through an online system, the pace and scope remain contentious, with a federal judge pushing for a broader eligibility and a faster timeline.
