US Tariff Refund Portal to Exclude One-Third of Imports at First

An online government portal to provide refunds on tariffs struck down by the US Supreme Court will handle claims for about 63% of 53 million import entries at issue when it first launches, according to a new court filing.

A Trump administration official with US Customs and Border Protection told a judge in a declaration submitted Tuesday that the government won’t be able to process refund demands for the remaining one-third of entries right away, and didn’t offer a specific time frame for rolling out later phases.
