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.

    Nope, which is why it should be a standard amount. For example, Illinois is suing for $1700/person regardless of what they spent. That’s what they calculated out was the average.

        It’s never going to be perfect. Good luck with that, but the question is “did you spend more than $1700 in tariffs?” I mean you’re welcome to try to sue every company and the government directly to get it back.

        Then you’re probably reselling some shit and passed those prices on to a customer.
