Trump Tariff Refunds Begin, but Consumers Excluded

The US government has begun processing refunds for tariffs struck down earlier this year, according to BBC News.

Importers seek refunds after US court overturns tariff collections.

The ruling allows importers to reclaim duties collected under measures imposed by Donald Trump using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

The US Court of International Trade ordered the refund of more than $160 billion collected. However, individual consumers who paid higher prices due to tariffs are not expected to receive compensation.
