The Supreme Court was very clear that these were collected illegally, and you have to work out a process and a system for this.
Yeah, he wasn't hearing it.
Judge Eaton is moving at a speed not typically seen at the trade court.
He issued a ruling requiring the government to kick off the refund process during that March hearing.
I had lawyers, trade lawyers, tell me that it was the order that they were really hoping for but never thought that they would see.
They're saying that their system just isn't set up to recalculate payments for this many entries all at once.
And so they said that, you know, we're going to have to update the system that we have in place.
And we're going to have to make quite a few changes.
And that takes time.
And so we need time.
And Judge Eaton, so far at the Court of International Trade, has been pretty understanding of that.
He's like, OK, you need some more time.
I'll give you some more time.
But you still have to show me that you're making progress in this because you owe this money back.
Right.
So the government said that importers are going to have to basically keep a spreadsheet, create a spreadsheet of all of their imports and all of the tariffs that they paid and make their own calculations, basically do their own accounting.
And they're going to have to take that spreadsheet and upload it to this new system.
And then customs is going to go through and check them, check their work, and have to validate every claim.
And then once they're done with that process, then they'll get their money back.
So some companies are already expressing fear and worry that they're not going to know how to navigate this process or that they don't have the time and the resources to go through and try to figure out all of the payments that they made.
