Business celebrates win over Trump tariffs, but refunds will take time
Reuters· 2026-02-20 16:02
Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling to overturn Trump's emergency tariffs could lead to refunds of approximately $175 billion in tariffs, significantly impacting businesses and consumers, although the refund process is expected to be slow [1]. Group 1: Impact on Businesses - Thousands of businesses are now considering pursuing refunds due to the Supreme Court ruling, which affects not only those that sued but also a broader range of companies [1]. - Affected companies, including luxury brands like LVMH and Moncler, saw positive stock reactions following the ruling [1]. - The corporate sector, particularly in consumer goods, automotive, manufacturing, and apparel, has been heavily impacted by tariffs that increased costs and disrupted supply chains [1]. Group 2: Refund Process and Legal Actions - The refund process is anticipated to be lengthy, with many companies potentially waiting months to years to recoup tariffs [1]. - Over 1,800 tariff-related lawsuits have been filed since April, a significant increase from fewer than two dozen in 2024, indicating a growing trend of legal challenges against tariffs [1]. - Companies may face challenges in gathering detailed import data necessary for calculating tariffs paid under various regimes [1]. Group 3: Consumer Impact - The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported that 90% of the costs from Trump's tariffs are borne by American consumers and companies, countering the argument that foreign entities bear the burden [1]. - The effective U.S. tariff rate was reported at 11.7% as of November, significantly higher than the average of 2.7% between 2022 and 2024 [1]. Group 4: Future Tariff Landscape - Despite the ruling, tariffs are expected to continue under different legal frameworks, particularly in sectors deemed crucial for national security [1]. - The automotive sector will still face significant tariffs not related to the overturned emergency powers, such as the 25% tariffs on vehicles from Mexico and Canada [1]. - Some companies are opting to sell their rights to collect refunds to outside investors, receiving a small upfront payment while forfeiting the remainder [1].
