Following the Supreme Court's decision that President Trump lacked authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, companies are preparing to seek refunds for tariffs paid since April 2025, with numerous lawsuits already filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade.
Trade, customs, and policy lawyers at firms including Bracewell LLP, Vinson & Elkins, and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Field have been counseling clients on potential risks and advising on measures such as altering goods movement strategies in anticipation of the Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs.
Major companies including Costco, Revlon, and Kawasaki Motors are increasingly going to court over President Donald Trump’s sweeping 'Liberation Day' tariffs, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration to secure refunds of their tariffs after previously staying quiet.
More than 1,000 lawsuits have already been filed on behalf of businesses seeking tariff refunds, including major companies like Costco, Kawasaki Motors, EssilorLuxottica, Revlon Cosmetics, and Bumble Bee Foods, as the Supreme Court deliberates on the legality of Trump's tariffs.
