Businesses would get automatic refunds for certain tariffs paid since January 2025.
This bill would require the government to automatically refund tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act since January 1, 2025. Importers, including independent and family businesses, would get their money back without needing to file any special paperwork. This changes the current process where importers would typically need to apply for such refunds.
Currently, businesses that paid tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act on or after January 1, 2025, would typically need to apply for a refund. If this bill becomes law, the government would automatically refund all those tariffs to the importers within 90 days, without requiring any application.
