The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is set to launch a new refund system on April 20, 2023, allowing businesses to reclaim tariffs ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court. The court's 6–3 decision on February 20 determined that former President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by imposing tariffs under emergency powers legislation. Following this ruling, the US Court of International Trade confirmed that companies could recover payments made under these invalid tariffs. CBP data indicates that over 330,000 importers paid approximately $166 billion across more than 53 million shipments. As of mid-April, 56,497 importers had registered for refunds totaling around $127 billion, including interest. However, not all imports will qualify immediately; the initial phase will focus on specific tariff entries. Refunds will be issued directly to businesses, which may not directly benefit consumers who initially bore the costs through higher prices. Companies like FedEx and UPS, which collect tariffs from consumers, are expected to pass on refunds once received. CBP has cautioned that the rollout will occur in phases and may face delays due to technical issues and procedural checks.
