The U.S. Customs and Border Protection stated on the 14th that it has basically completed the first phase of research and development of a new customs declaration system for large-scale refunds to importers, and will start related tariff refund work on the 20th.
The agency plans to deploy the tariff refund system using a phased development model, and will add more features for more complex business scenarios in subsequent phases.
The U.S. Supreme Court announced its ruling on February 20, finding that the U.S. International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorize the president to impose large-scale tariffs. A judge of the U.S. Court of International Trade issued a ruling on March 4, requiring Customs and Border Protection not to impose tariffs in accordance with the International Emergency Economic Powers Act during tariff settlements. This means that duties previously imposed under this law will need to be refunded.
