New Jersey Food Importer Files Lawsuit Challenging Trump's 50% Tariffs on Canadian Goods
The importer says the 50% duties exceed presidential authority and seeks to bar tariffs on $20 billion in Canadian goods.
- On Tuesday, The Gellert Global Group, a New Jersey food importer, filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods.
- In August, Trump invoked Section 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act to impose the tariffs, alleging discrimination against U.S. dairy, auto, and alcoholic beverages; Ottawa retaliated, and last month the president banned nearly $1 billion of Canadian products.
- The Liberty Justice Center argues newer trade legislation superseded the president's 1930 authority, which remained dormant for decades before this dispute.
- Liberty Justice Center chair Sara Albrecht stated, "No president should have the power to pull a dormant statute off the shelf and use it to impose sweeping tariffs or import bans without the limits Congress required."
- The U.S. Court of International Trade in New York will hear the case, following the Supreme Court's decision earlier this year to strike down previous Trump administration tariffs.

Since then, U.S. authorities have incorporated cheeses, motor boats and aluminum items into the list of affected products, while excluding other key items, such as road salt and cement. Trump also banned the importation of various alcoholic and dairy products from Canada.
