**Latest News: The US Supreme Court will soon rule on the legality of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration globally. If ruled invalid, importers have the opportunity to recover up to $150 billion in paid tariffs — sounds good, but there's more to it than meets the eye.**
Here's the problem: Even if companies win the lawsuit, will the Trump administration readily refund the money? Many industry insiders' answer is — uncertain. US Customs has verbally promised to launch an electronic refund system, but the specific process remains a mystery. Because of this uncertainty, major importers like Costco have already filed lawsuits preemptively to lock in their rights. And for small and medium enterprises? It's even more dramatic — they're starting to sell refund rights to hedge funds at fire-sale prices of a few cents on the dollar, allowing them to quickly recover cash, but also meaning they forfeit money that should rightfully be theirs.
**The advice for everyone is simple but critical: You need to organize all your paid tariff bills clearly right now — not a single one can be missed. The moment the court ruling lands, immediately apply for the refund according to regulations. Prepare yourself mentally — this process could drag on for several years, and the complexity of legal and administrative procedures is beyond imagination. Prepare in advance and don't be caught off guard.**
