Why the Global Reserve Currency Status Made IEEPA Tariffs Possible- More Inside

Here’s a largely unknown fact – the United States has the power to impose unilateral tariffs on just about every country in the world without facing some kind of immediate financial crisis that would sound a death knell to a smaller economy. The precise reason for this has nothing to do with things like the brilliance of our trade negotiators or the sheer size of our manufacturing base, but the fact that the dollar is the end-all and be-all with regard to the world’s primary reserve currency, which allows the federal government to run massive trade deficits as well as borrow at lower interest rates and feel nothing when we absorb retaliatory tariffs. The fact is that the current administration understood this when architecting the IEEPA tariffs, even when it knew it meant it would destroy the financial prospects and growth of the import and export economies as well as the companies that engage in the same. If you’re reading this and wondering when and how the government will now refund the IEEPA tariffs which were recently deemed unlawful and unconstitutional, you’ve come to the right place – keep reading to understand the dollar reserve’s status and the consequences of these IEEPA tariffs on your business and how to seek out a refund.

The Dollar’s Reserve Status and How it Shields the US from Tariff Consequences

When a country like India imposes retaliatory tariffs on US goods, these tariffs hurt American exporters, but they do not lead to a currency crisis as the global demand for dollars still holds up regardless of the trade issues.

Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Central banks across the world usually hold 59 percent of their foreign exchange reserves in US dollars, which is something that has been constant for decades regardless of the rumors surrounding the dollar’s decline. This means that even when our trading partners are angry about US tariffs, they do not have the ability to dump their dollar holdings as there is really no alternative currency that has the same safety, depth and liquidity
  2. Dollar demand is also shored up y the fact that vital commodities such as oil, metals, natural gas and grain are all priced and settled in dollars. This means that countries affected by US tariffs simply can’t start pricing their exports in yuan or euros without destroying decades of commercial infrastructure or hedging practices.

Implications for your IEEPA Tariff Refund

The fact that the dollar reserve status is pretty much cemented for years and even decades to come, means that the US will continue to have structural advantages when it comes to trade disputes. While this may seem like a good thing, it is in reality, not; when the government realizes that retaliatory tariffs do nothing but cause a minor inconvenience and the tariffs bring in billions in import duties, they will be motivated to find even more ways to levy duties on your and other corporations regardless of how many cases they lose.
