"The lawsuits argue that the shipping companies never should have charged the fees in the first place, and that the shippers, not the government, owe the customers."
"John Yanchunis, an attorney at Morgan & Morgan, stated, 'The shippers made the decision to assess that additional fee,' highlighting the responsibility of shipping companies in this matter."
"The plaintiff in Yanchunis' lawsuit received a $36 bill from FedEx, which included $21 in now-unconstitutional tariffs and $15 in 'FedEx's customs brokerage and duty advancement fees.'"
"Yanchunis emphasized the urgency of the situation, questioning, 'Why should consumers have to wait for Federal Express or any other company to battle it out with the government?'"
Legal disputes are emerging regarding fees charged by shipping services like FedEx and UPS for handling tariffs. Following a Supreme Court ruling that declared many of President Trump's tariffs unconstitutional, companies are seeking refunds. FedEx has stated it will pass on any refunds to businesses and consumers. However, additional brokerage fees charged by shipping companies are also under scrutiny, with lawsuits claiming these fees were unjustified. Several lawsuits have been filed against FedEx and UPS, seeking compensation for these charges.
