US EditionThese Companies Have Sued Trump for Tariff Refunds
Costco challenges tariff legality under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, seeking refunds and a halt on tariffs affecting one-third of its U.S. sales until Supreme Court review.
- Seeking refunds and a declaration, Costco sued the Trump administration Friday at the U.S. Court of International Trade, challenging the tariffs' legality until the Supreme Court rules.

- The Supreme Court is now weighing the orders as Kawasaki, motorcycle maker, and Revlon, beauty company, join Costco in suing to recoup tariffs amid $205 billion federal government revenue figure of 2025.
- Retailers say the policies have disrupted operations as the tariff policies have thrown the retail sector and toymakers into disarray, with businesses reworking supply chains and consumers facing higher prices.
