Trump administration issues $100B in tariff refunds after Supreme Court ruling

The Trump administration has refunded roughly $100 billion in tariffs to businesses via US customs—about 60% of collected tariff revenue—after a Supreme Court ruling found broad import taxes unlawful; about $29 billion remains under review and $1.6 billion is pending banking details, with importers who paid tariffs eligible for refunds (Amazon reportedly received ~ $600 million). Refunds are expected to grow as claims are processed, while post-ruling policy shifts included a temporary 10% universal tariff later replaced by new tariffs on dozens of partners, including Canada.

Refunds on unlawful tariffs move forward after Supreme Court ruling

A federal judge in New York ruled that U.S. importers who paid tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court are entitled to refunds, with the Court of International Trade handling the process; the ruling follows a February decision that the president lacked authority to impose the tariffs under IEEPA, and the government could owe as much as about $175 billion in refunds.

Masimo sues US Customs over Apple Watch blood oxygen feature

Masimo has filed a lawsuit against US Customs and Border Protection, alleging they overstepped their authority by reversing a decision that allowed Apple to reintroduce the Blood Oxygen feature on the Apple Watch, which Masimo claims infringes on its patents. The company seeks a court order to reinstate the original ruling and prevent the feature's reintroduction via software updates.

"Apple Watch Pulse Oximetry Ban and Redesign: A Detailed Overview"

The US Customs and Border Protection has published documents detailing the ban on the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, which includes information about Apple's software workaround to disable the blood pulse oximeter. The ban can be lifted if Apple wins an appeal or when the violated patents expire in August 2028, and the documents reveal that the pulse oximeter can be reactivated via a software update. Masimo's protests and jailbreaking have shown that the feature can be reactivated, but the Customs order doesn't consider this a viable reason to stop the workaround.

"US Holds Imported Luxury Cars Over Banned Chinese Parts Linked to Forced Labor"

"US Holds Imported Luxury Cars Over Banned Chinese Parts Linked to Forced Labor"

U.S. authorities are holding thousands of imported luxury cars from brands like Porsche, Bentley, and Audi due to a part in the vehicles violating laws against importing goods made with forced labor in China. The part came from an indirect supplier in western China, triggering impoundment and replacement of the banned part, a process that may last until the end of March. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act prohibits imported goods from Xinjiang, and Volkswagen, the common owner of the affected luxury auto brands, is investigating the matter and may terminate supplier relationships if serious violations are confirmed.

"Apple's Redesign Strategy to Circumvent Import Ban on Apple Watch Features"

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has stated that Apple can potentially bypass an import ban on newer Apple Watch models by implementing a redesign, following a patent infringement dispute with Masimo. The ban, issued by the U.S. International Trade Commission, applies to certain Apple Watch models, but Apple has convinced a U.S. appeals court to temporarily pause the ban while it contests the ruling. The customs agency's decision may be subject to review by the ITC. Masimo has accused Apple of infringing its patents and stealing technology, while Apple has countered with its own legal actions.

"Apple's Solution to Import Ban: Removing Blood-Oxygen Functionality from Apple Watch Series 9"

The U.S. Customs agency has ruled that Apple's proposed redesign of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 does not infringe on Masimo patents, as long as the devices no longer contain pulse oximetry features. This decision allows Apple to continue selling the watches in the U.S. without the blood oxygen functionality. However, the outcome of Apple's request to pause the Apple Watch ban during the appeals process is still pending, with a decision expected soon from the US appeals court.

"ITC Opposes Apple's Request to Stay Apple Watch Sales Ban"

The International Trade Commission (ITC) has opposed Apple's request to stay the Apple Watch sales ban, stating that Apple's arguments are weak and unconvincing. The ITC ruled in October that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 infringe on patents held by Masimo, leading to a temporary halt in sales. Apple has submitted a software redesign to US Customs and Border Protection and is awaiting a decision on January 12. The US appeals court will decide on the stay request, and if US Customs deems the software change inadequate and the stay request is rejected, the Apple Watch models could be removed from the market again.
