US EditionFedEx Joins Other US Companies in Seeking a Refund After Trump Tariffs Are Ruled Illegal
Following the Supreme Court ruling, over 1,000 companies seek refunds on $130 billion to $175 billion in tariffs imposed without legal authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
- On Feb. 20 the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated IEEPA tariffs worth $130 billion to $175 billion, and FedEx said on Thursday it would return any refund to shippers and customers.
- More than 1,000 companies, including Revlon and Costco, filed suit in the U.S. Court of International Trade to preserve reimbursement rights, filing protectively to recover duties or retain refund claims.
- Federal lawsuits name FedEx and EssilorLuxottica, with plaintiffs including Nathan Ward who paid higher Ray-Ban prices in August 2025 and Reiser who paid $36 in tariffs on shoes shipped via FedEx.
- A refund process is expected through the U.S. Court of International Trade or U.S. Customs and Border Protection in coming days or months as claims progress, and experts say more consumer lawsuits will pressure businesses to share tax refunds.
- While companies promise refunds, plaintiffs say those pledges may be nonbinding as Matthew Reiser's complaint argues FedEx's refund pledge depends on uncertain future guidance.
