Court rejects DOJ’s attempt to slow tariff refund process

A federal court has rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to slow the tariff refund process. The Justice Department wanted to slow the process of refunding billions of dollars’ worth of tariffs. But a federal court refused, sending it to a lower court to sort out. The legal activity follows last month’s Supreme Court ruling that struck down the tariffs as illegal, clearing the way for the importers who paid them to seek refunds.. However, the high court offered no guidance on refunds.
