The administration of President Donald Trump has begun the process of returning over 166 billion dollars collected from import tariffs, following a Supreme Court decision that declared these measures illegal. Affected companies, such as FedEx and Costco, can request refunds of the amounts paid, including interest. The tariffs, which increased costs for American companies, were a central element of Trump's trade policy. Although over 3,000 firms have initiated lawsuits, only those that directly paid the tariffs are eligible for refunds, leaving millions of consumers without compensation. The refund process could take months, and customs officials acknowledge technical difficulties in handling the claims. The economic impact of the refunds is uncertain, and the business environment remains skeptical about the speed of the process. Refunds are seen more as a legal correction than a complete solution to the negative economic effects of the tariff policy.
