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.
