US judge orders refunds for more than $130bn in illegal Trump tariffs
AI Summary
A US trade court judge has ordered the government to begin issuing refunds, with interest, for over $130 billion in illegal tariffs collected under the Trump administration's trade policy. The order, issued by Judge Richard Eaton of the US Court of International Trade, follows a Supreme Court ruling that deemed the tariffs illegal. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been directed to finalize entry costs on shipments without assessing the tariff, a process the agency claims is unprecedented in scale, potentially requiring manual review of over 70 million entries. While CBP requested up to four months to assess refund options, the judge has requested an update on CBP's refund plans at a hearing on Friday. The case originated from a complaint by Atmus Filtration, which paid approximately $11 million in illegal tariffs.
