E636: What You Need to Do To Get Tariff Refunds
The Supreme Court struck down Trump's IEEPA tariffs, entitling importers to full refunds on tariffs paid. CBP has been instructed to simplify the refund process, but sellers must register for ACH payments to receive money.
Most sellers haven't registered their ACH details with CBP, meaning refunds will stall even after approval — register at WePayTheTariffs.com now before the window closes. Secondary risk: new replacement tariffs at 10-15% are already being implemented, so repricing decisions made assuming zero tariffs need immediate review.
This is a regulatory shift with direct margin recovery potential for import-heavy sellers, but replacement tariffs at 10-15% signal ongoing trade policy volatility that will continue compressing landed cost margins.
Register your ACH refund details with CBP via WePayTheTariffs.com immediately — unregistered importers will face payment delays regardless of eligibility.
Audit your COGS and pricing for any SKUs imported under IEEPA tariffs in the past year — refunds could materially change your margin baseline and repricing strategy.
Bottom Line
SCOTUS tariff ruling means importers get refunds — but only if they register now.
