The US Treasury refunded nearly $22 billion in tariff revenue collected from importers in May, the first swath of such repayments since the Supreme Court struck down a major component of President Donald Trump’s trade policy.

The amount of customs duties refunded surged from $2 billion in April, according to a Treasury Department statement Wednesday. Overall, the deficit narrowed to $1.25 trillion for the first eight months of the fiscal year, representing a 9% decline from the same period last year.


Meanwhile, revenue from tariffs peaked in October. In May, the amount of tariff refunds was roughly equal to customs duties taken in, meaning that one essentially canceled the other out, the statement shows.

The administration began processing refunds in April after the Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump didn’t have the authority to impose tariffs using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. But the eventual extent of the reimbursements remains uncertain after the administration appealed a court order to refund every importer who paid the $166 billion collected under IEEPA authority.

When Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was asked about the tariff refund case during a congressional hearing last week, he said the money would be returned to the companies that imported the tariffed goods.

I added the Bold for clarity, this money isn't being returned to Us. How does everyone not realize that this is the largest corporate well fare scheme in the history of Humanity.

They passed theses costs along to us when they paid them, now they're getting that money a 2nd time, paid with Tax Payer dollars. There is nothing written any where that forces any company to return this money to their customers. Even if it was required, the costs/fees associated with processing them would eat up most of the money anyway.

The guys that bought the last election are getting an astonishing ROI. Its truly impressive. Destructive and depressing, but impressive none the less.

I got a refund from DHL for refunded tariff. My guess is that some will and some won't. Doubt I'll do further business with those that choose to keep my money.
