Dear Customer,
We would like to share an update on legal proceedings regarding the potential refund of tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
On March 2, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the case challenging IEEPA tariffs should move forward and sent it to the U.S. Court of International Trade. The Court will now determine how potential refunds will be issued and what actions importers may need to take.
What this means for importers
This development represents an important procedural step toward potential refunds of IEEPA tariffs. However, the specific process, timing, and scope of any refunds have not yet been determined. It is not yet clear whether refunds will be applied automatically or whether importers will need to take specific action to preserve eligibility.
Our guidance for customers
Given the evolving situation, we recommend importers:
- Continue monitoring entry liquidation timelines
- File protests where appropriate to preserve potential refund rights
- Consult with their customs broker or legal counsel regarding individual entries and exposure
