E636: What You Need to Do To Get Tariff Refunds

Dan Anthony from WePayTheTariffs explains the recent Supreme Court decision that ruled certain tariffs illegal, how the refunds for affected importers will work, and what steps ecommerce owners should take moving forward. The Supreme Court recently struck down President Trump's tariffs.  And that means there's good news and bad news.  The good news is that you're likely going to be entitled to a full refund of any IEPPA tariffs you paid last year after the SCOTUS ruling. The other good news is that the CBP has been instructed to make the job of getting tariff refunds as simple as possible. The bad news is you're going to have to jump through a couple of hoops first. In today's episode, Dan Anthony from WePayTheTariffs is on to clear some of the confusion and skepticism about the refunds and the recent tariff increase that was announced after the Supreme Court passed their judgement.    Timestamps: 00:00 - The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs 01:44 - What the ruling did and did not address 02:12 - What happens to tariff money? 03:42 - Differences in legal footing between Trump 1.0 and 2.0 tariffs 05:15 - Timeline for implementing new tariffs 09:46 - Current application rates of tariffs: 10% or 15% 10:10 - What you need to do to get tariff refunds 13:37 - The urgency of refunds and how delays cost the US government money 16:58 - The likelihood of refunds being issued 18:54 - Potential government objections to refunds and appeal possibilities 20:19 - Timeline and procedural steps for refund payments 22:04 - Windows to protest tariffs and how they apply here 23:37 - The role of legislative efforts and legal timelines for refunds 26:07 - WePayTheTariffs' mission and ongoing advocacy efforts 28:48 - How small importers can support the campaign and register for refunds Resources & Links: WePayTheTariffs.com — Join the movement to advocate for tariffs refunds CBP Refund Registration — Register for ACH refunds to ensure you receive your money Section 301 Trade Law — U.S. Trade Representative info Section 232 Steel & Aluminum Tariffs — Official documentation As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.
