Businesses set to start claiming refunds for unconstitutional Trump tariffs

A system designed to refund businesses for tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, which the US Supreme Court subsequently ruled were unconstitutional, is scheduled to start on Monday.

Importers and their brokers will be able to submit claims through an online portal from 8 a.m., according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency tasked with administering the new scheme. This marks the initial phase of a complex process that could eventually lead to refunds for consumers who were charged for some or all of these tariffs on products imported from outside the United States.
