WILMINGTON, Del. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection has informed a federal court that it lacks the capability to process tariff refunds that were ordered following a Supreme Court decision declaring certain tariffs unlawful.
The customs agency made this declaration in documents submitted Friday to the U.S. Court for International Trade, stating it cannot fulfill the court’s directive to return the disputed tariff payments.
The filing comes after the nation’s highest court previously determined that the tariffs in question were imposed illegally, leading to the court order requiring their return to affected parties.
