Trump administration tells court its tariff refund system will launch Monday

The Trump administration told a federal court this week that it plans to launch its system for issuing tariff refunds on Monday, two months after the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs.

Officials at Customs and Border Protection told Judge Richard Eaton, of the U.S. Court of International Trade, that they are “on track” to launch the first phase of the refund system on Monday. The Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries system will process refunds of duties imposed by the administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which the Supreme Court struck down 6-3 on Feb. 20.
