How Consumers Can Get a Refund for Trump Tariffs Struck Down by Supreme Court
- For the third consecutive month, federal tariff refunds exceeded collections, as July payouts reached $33.4 billion compared to $24.8 billion in customs duties collected by the Treasury Department.
- The Supreme Court's Feb. 20 ruling invalidated tariffs President Donald Trump imposed under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, triggering the government to return improperly collected duties.
- Total repayments have now surpassed $100 billion since the ruling, with around $166 billion in duties and interest potentially eligible for return to businesses still awaiting refunds.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects the federal deficit will reach $2.1 trillion by Sept. 30, attributing much of that deterioration to tariff collections falling below previous expectations.
- Simultaneously, the White House is implementing 10% to 12.5% tariffs on major partners like Canada and Brazil, while granting exemptions for items such as Moroccan fertilizer to ease price pressures.
