Securing Tariff Refunds

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether President Trump lacked authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose global tariffs. This decision could unlock over $90 billion in refunds for U.S. companies—but only for those who act quickly.

Why This Matters to Your Business

Millions at Stake: Companies that paid IEEPA tariffs may recover substantial refunds.

Limited Window: Refunds will likely require a formal legal process, likely through the Court of International Trade (CIT). Delay could mean losing priority or facing significant delays.

Competitive Rush: More than 1,000 claims have already been filed, including several by Fortune 500 Companies. Acting now ensures your company is positioned to recover funds promptly.
