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.
I agree that Fed Ex should be sending those refunds to everyone who has to pay them.
But I think FedEX should be able to sue. It used to be anything under $600 didn’t get a tariff. It was too costly and burdensome on the package handlers to collect the tariff. Also the system was designed to hold those $600 packages, not all the packages. Instead of ramping up Fed Ex had to handle a new system blind, with no preparation time. That had to effect core business
Hell would love to see a class action suit by all the package shippers and handlers against the government for what they had to go through
Can we later sue FedEx, assuming FedEx gets reimbursed? Human centipede that shit.
