A federal judge has cleared the way for thousands of businesses to receive refunds for tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down last month.
The US Court of International Trade on Wednesday ordered Customs and Border Protection to issue refunds for levies US President Donald Trump introduced last year under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
"All importers of record whose entries were subject to IEEPA duties are entitled to the benefit" from the high court's ruling, Judge Richard Eaton wrote.
The ruling was specifically on a case brought by a filtration company in Tennessee, Atmus Filtration, but the judge said he will be the only one to hear cases about refunds.
Companies including the global transportation and postal firm FedEx have filed lawsuits seeking full refunds of the tariffs.
