In today’s interconnected world, what happens in this country ultimately affects other countries, and nowhere is this more relevant than the IEEPA tariffs refund process when the Supreme Court ruled that the President had no mandate to effectuate them, thereby stating that said tariffs are not only unconstitutional and unlawful, but that they must be refunded to the importers of note, which stands at over 300,000 businesses. Trading partners in countries such as China, Canada, Brazil, India and many others are currently watching the refund process with a mixture of alarm and dread that is not really appreciated by most U.S. business. It is obvious that the IEEPA refunds process may set off a domino effect of actions going forward and affect how the U.S. is seen internationally by its trade partners. What remains to be seen is whether the effect will be a net positive, or a negative.

The Canada and Mexico Problem with Regard to IEEPA
While the Supreme Court ruling terminated IEEPA tariffs for all countries, the administration simply turned around and reimposed these rates on Canada and Mexico under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, which was a different statute that was not addressed by the Court. As of this writing, Canadian non-USMCA goods still face 25 percent tariffs, as well as Mexican goods. Therefore, while your refunds on IEEPA 2025-2026 duties is coming, something known as your go-forward duty liability on the same goods from the same suppliers is just about the same, with the governments of these two countries preparing legal maneuverings that may take years to resolve.
Over in Europe, the situation was just as bleak; when the tariffs were struck down, the administration immediately changed gears to a new Section 301 investigation that targets digital service taxes, agricultural subsidies, as well as auto exports. While the refund process on the reciprocal taxes marked a temporary win for EU exporters, the trade disputes that lit a match with regard to the original tariffs were never dealt with, and by the looks of things, a new round of targeted tariffs may be scheduled, which may be even more difficult to challenge than the IEEPA tariffs.
The Refund Repatriation Snafu Every US Importer Must Understand
If you’re a U.S. importer that has foreign suppliers, and your contract includes a “duty pass-through” provision and your supplier gets wind that you received a refund which you charged back to them, they may be able to claim that refund according to the home country legislation as per your contract with them. The European and Asian trading partners that have their eyes on the IEEPA refund process may therefore not only be watching the process, but they may also be preparing legal theories requiring U.S. importers to disgorge refund proceeds to foreign sellers.
