The Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump invalidated billions of dollars in import duties imposed by the Trump administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). As the federal government will soon begin issuing refunds of those duties to importers who have submitted claims, significant questions have emerged—including for consumer facing companies—about whether and how these refunded amounts may reach their ultimate payors, who are often consumers.
Join McCarter & English for this CLE webinar where we will provide an overview of the tariff refund process, examine the tax and contractual issues associated with refunded duties, and explore whether companies will face class action suits claiming that any refunds that a company received should be paid to the ultimate consumer, while offering practical strategies to help mitigate legal, financial, and reputational risk.
