Tariff refunds rise as courts press CBP; the Court of International Trade weighs the legality of February tariffs amid ongoing challenges.
A U.S. appeals court has paused a lower court ruling that found Trump-style Section 122 tariffs illegal, while debates over the authority and impact on consumers continue. The decision comes as refunds of previously imposed tariffs are being processed and a July expiration date looms or could be extended by Congress.
The government has moved to speed up refunding billions in tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court, with courts pressuring CBP to open refunds to more importers while some firms have begun receiving payments.
