Trump Administration Opens $166 Billion Tariff Refund Program After Supreme Court Ruling

The Trump administration has begun accepting applications for more than $166 billion in tariff refunds following a February Supreme Court ruling that found the president had no legal authority to impose the tariffs. The administration launched a digital claims system called Cape that can handle about 63% of affected import filings, with the remainder to follow. Over 3,000 companies have already sued for refunds, including Skechers, Revlon, Toyota, Nintendo of America, FedEx, and Costco. Only companies that officially paid the tariffs can claim refunds, leaving ordinary consumers who absorbed costs through higher prices with no direct recourse. Processing takes 60-90 days.
