A refund system for businesses that paid tariffs which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump imposed without the constitutional authority to do so is scheduled to launch Monday.

Importers and their brokers will be able to begin claiming refunds through an online portal beginning at 8 a.m., according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency administering the system.

It’s the first step in a complicated process that also might eventually lead to refunds for consumers who were billed for some or all of the tariffs on products shipped to them from outside the United States.

    Yeah a condition of them collecting the tariff back from the government should be repaying their customers for tariff costs passed onto them. Otherwise it’s just largely another corporate handout.
