Feds Make Big Strides on $166B Tariff Refund System

U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows 40% to 80% progress on its four-step refund process for illegal Trump tariffs.
The system will handle refunds of about $166 billion paid by over 330,000 importers on 53 million shipments.
Only 21,423 importers have registered so far in the electronic system launched in early February.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection updates a court on building a new refund system after the Supreme Court ruled former President Trump's tariffs illegal. This follows a federal judge's order to stop collecting the duties and process refunds with interest. It affects importers nationwide, including Colorado businesses hit hard by higher costs.
