FedEx Sues for Refund After Supreme Court Rejects Trump Tariffs

FedEx filed a lawsuit on Monday in the U.S. Court of International Trade asking Customs and Border Protection to repay tariffs the Supreme Court ruled unlawful last week. The company did not specify an amount and is expected to be one of many seeking compensation.

Analysts say the emergency tariffs that the Supreme Court rejected, which President Trump began imposing a year ago, had raised as much as $175 billion. The Trump administration’s lawyers had told the trade court last year the government would comply with an order to provide refunds if the duties were found unlawful, but Mr.

Trump suggested last week that refunds would face a legal battle. FedEx often acts as an importer of record, making customs payments that it typically passes along to recipients. “FedEx has taken necessary action to protect the company’s rights as an importer of record to seek duty refunds,” the company said in a statement Monday.
