U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has disclosed a new four-step system designed to automate and accelerate refunds for tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The move follows a court filing and aims to resolve significant backlogs affecting global supply chain liquidity.
In a landmark 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the President authority to impose tariffs. The ruling invalidates billions in duties collected since early 2025 and sets the stage for a massive $175 billion refund process.
