"The suit asks the US Court of International Trade to strike down tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump by executive order under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. In a complaint submitted Friday, November 28, the retailer said it is seeking a "full refund" of duties it paid after Trump used the emergency-powers law to levy what he described as "reciprocal" tariffs."
"The complaint cited a previous lawsuit, VOS Selections, Inc. vs. Trump, filed against the Trump administration, for which the US Supreme Court heard arguments in early November. "This separate action is necessary, however, because even if the IEEPA duties and underlying executive orders are held unlawful by the Supreme Court, importers that have paid IEEPA duties, including Plaintiff, are not guaranteed a refund for those unlawfully collected tariffs in the absence of their own judgment and judicial relief," the complaint reads."
Costco filed a lawsuit against the United States, US Customs and Border Protection, and Commissioner Rodney S. Scott seeking recovery of tariff payments. The lawsuit asks the US Court of International Trade to strike down tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump by executive order under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and requests a full refund of duties paid. The complaint cites the VOS Selections, Inc. v. Trump case and notes that the US Supreme Court heard related arguments in early November. The complaint argues that even if IEEPA duties are held unlawful, importers who paid duties are not guaranteed refunds without their own judicial relief. No immediate comment was provided by Costco, the White House, or CBP.
