Foley & Lardner LLP partner Gregory Husisian captured broad national attention unpacking the Supreme Court’s decision striking down Trump‑era tariffs imposed under IEEPA.
Key takeaways
- The Supreme Court struck down the tariff authority but left refunds unresolved, sending the issue back to the Court of International Trade to determine how and whether refunds will be issued.
- Refunds are possible but complicated, with existing processes not designed to the scale of claims and likely to discourage participation through procedural hurdles.
- Tariffs remain in effect for now, as importers must continue paying until Customs formally ends collection or a court order directs otherwise.
- Courts are moving quickly, but appeals are inevitable, keeping the timing and scope of refunds uncertain.
- Tariffs are not disappearing, only shifting, with the administration expected to rely on other trade authorities to impose new or replacement duties.
