Businesses can claim refunds starting today for Trump tariffs declared unconstitutional, per AP

  • The refund system launches today at 8:00 AM Eastern Time via the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) online portal.
  • This concerns the tariffs that President Trump imposed last year under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
  • On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled these tariffs unconstitutional in a 6–3 decision, stating that the president does not have the authority to impose duties on his own - this is the prerogative of Congress.
  • In early March 2026, a federal judge further confirmed that all importers are entitled to a full refund of the duties paid.
  • The total amount of refunds is expected to exceed $100–175 billion. Processing of claims will take 60–90 days after approval.
