Nintendo sues for refunds of Trump tariffs after Supreme Court ruling
Nintendo seeks refunds with interest for tariffs deemed unlawful by the Supreme Court, joining over 1,000 companies affected by $200 billion in import duties.
- Last Friday, Nintendo of America filed a complaint in the United States Court of International Trade, arguing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act lacks justification and seeking prompt refunds with interest.
- The U.S. Supreme Court's February 6-3 ruling struck down several IEEPA tariffs, prompting refund lawsuits and referencing the April 2, 2025 IEEPA proclamation that imposed a 10% reciprocal tariff and hikes up to 50%.
- On Wednesday last week, Judge Richard Eaton ruled companies are entitled to refunds, Nintendo delayed Switch 2 pre-orders and raised accessory prices, and Dyson, Whoop, Wyze, and Epson filed similar suits.
- Plaintiffs ask the trade court to order refunds plus interest for IEEPA duties, and the Supreme Court decision has triggered lawsuits from over two dozen states and over 1,000 companies including FedEx and Costco.
- With the administration reintroducing tariffs via other mechanisms, companies that raised prices face new exposure, and it remains unclear when U.S. Customs and Border Protection will process refunds.
