Consumer Lawsuits Emerge After Supreme Court Invalidates 'Liberation Day' Tariffs

These legal actions allege that businesses passed the now-invalidated tariff costs onto consumers. The Court of International Trade is now responsible for overseeing the refund process for these 'Liberation Day' tariffs.
