The Trump administration has warned that it could take years for refunds to be paid out for tariffs that the Supreme Court ruled are illegal.

KEY POINTS

Federal Express sued the U.S. government, seeking a “full refund” of the money the shipping giant paid for tariffs unilaterally imposed by Donald Trump, which the Supreme Court last week ruled were illegal.

FedEx’s suit appears to be the first one filed by a major U.S. company after the Supreme Court decision seeking a refund of the tariffs it has paid.

Other companies filed lawsuits seeking refunds before the high court ruled that the tariffs Trump imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act are illegal.

    Weird, it was just the first sentence at first.

    ordered something with no tariff charges mentioned not realizing that I was ordering out of country only to get an email saying it’s being held by the delivery company, they paid to get it through customs, and won’t deliver until I pay them.

    Yeah, that’s what I expected, didn’t happen tho.

    I promise you even if you haven’t paid a tariff directly, you’re still paying.

    I know it raised the prices of things in America, but I meant explicitly ordering things from other countries that should have been tariffed, and no one ever tariffed me

      Could be that the delivery service absorbed the cost in order to not scare its customers. Might have raised their service fees instead.
