Refunds on Trump tariffs may arrive in Q2, Barclays says

Barclays researchers expect about $175 billion in tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to be refunded in the second quarter after the Supreme Court struck down many 2025 tariffs. Refunds are expected to be paid via shorter‑term Treasury bills, with U.S. Customs aiming for a streamlined process within roughly 45 days from March 6. While temporary replacement tariffs of 10% rising to 15% are on the way, the anticipated effective tariff rate could be about 9.1%, according to JPMorgan Asset Management, and companies such as Costco, FedEx and Nintendo are among those pursuing refunds.

FedEx seeks full refund of Trump-era tariffs after Supreme Court ruling

FedEx filed a lawsuit in the US Court of International Trade seeking a full refund of tariffs imposed during the Trump administration after the Supreme Court ruled that Congress, not the presidency, has the authority to levy taxes; the case names CBP and the US government as defendants and does not specify an amount. While the court did not resolve refunds, the decision raises the possibility that duties collected could be returned and has prompted Democratic calls for relief to small businesses and possibly passing refunds to customers; Trump has signaled he will pursue tariffs under other authorities, which would continue to affect prices for US households.

FedEx seeks full refund of Trump-era tariffs after Supreme Court ruling

FedEx filed a lawsuit seeking a full refund from the U.S. government for tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by Trump, arguing the Supreme Court’s ruling that those tariffs are illegal and that the Court of International Trade has exclusive jurisdiction. The suit appears to be the first major company bid for refunds after the ruling, while other pending suits (including Costco’s) have not yet been decided. FedEx has not disclosed the exact amount paid; last year it warned of about a $1 billion earnings hit due to U.S. trade policies, and regulators have not yet established a refund process.
