thebalanced.newsUS Launches Online Portal for Refunds of Trump-Era Tariffs Ruled Unconstitutional
Starting Monday at 8 a.m., U.S. importers and brokers can claim refunds through an online portal for tariffs imposed under former President Trump's administration, which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional. The tariffs were set using emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a move the court found exceeded presidential authority. Refunds will be processed in phases, focusing first on recent payments, and may take 60-90 days after approval. The process may also eventually extend to consumers charged these tariffs.
