US Tariffs Being Petitioned in Court – Protect Your Possible Duty Drawback!

You’ve managed supply chains, negotiated pricing, scheduled shipments, but now you’re staring at rapid changes in US trade policy – tariffs!  

US Tariff Programs Under Review at the Supreme Court  

US tariff programs related to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) remain under legal review, and many importers are waiting to see how the pending Supreme Court decision could affect duties they’ve already paid.  

Who Can Get a Refund If Tariff Programs Are Reversed?   

If your business has paid tariffs which were enacted under the IEEPA, importers should consider filing protective protests as soon as possible to support the chance at recovering duties.  

Delaying filing could mean losing the chance to accelerate the recovery of IEEPA tariffs, if the tariffs are ultimately ruled unlawful. 

Why Filing a Protest Matters  

Filing a protest does not guarantee recovery, but it is beneficial to your business.  

• It preserves your rights.
• It should accelerate approval and payment subject to the court’s decision.
• It’s a proactive measure that positions your company to benefit should there be any favorable court outcomes.
• Maintains compliance with US Customs and Border Protection requirements.
