Less than two months after the Trump administration rolled out its electronic tariff refund platform, it is now threatening to bring the operation to a standstill.
The administration said on Friday it plans to appeal a federal judge’s order that allowed all U.S. importers the ability to seek tariff refunds, not just those who sued the administration. The Supreme Court struck down tariffs President Donald Trump imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) in February, ruling the imposition of the tariffs exceeded the president’s powers.
