US EditionJudge rules companies are entitled to refunds for Trump tariffs overturned by the Supreme Court
Judge Eaton ordered refunds with interest for importers who paid $130 billion in tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
- On March 04, 2026, Judge Richard Eaton of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that companies that paid the tariffs struck down last month by the U.S. Supreme Court are entitled to refunds and he alone will hear cases about refunding the IEEPA duties.
- After the Supreme Court's Feb. 20 ruling that struck down the tariffs, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit sent the refund phase to New York trade court to sort out next steps.
- U.S. Customs must now design a mass refund process, but trade lawyers warn its system was not built for such a scale, with potential liabilities reaching $175 billion, according to Penn Wharton Budget Model.
- The judge set a Friday deadline for government counsel to propose refund methods for Atmus Filtration, Nashville, Tennessee, while another federal court rejected attempts to delay refunds on Monday.
- Reporters warn the administrative details will be decisive, cautioning that 'the devil will be in the details' as images from the Port of Long Beach on Feb. 20 and a cargo terminal in Frankfurt on Feb. 23 show import volumes.
