against its use of emergency powers to impose duties on dozens of trade partners, according to customs officials.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration collected about $166bn from US importers before the US Supreme Court struck down a large portion of the president\u2019s tariff regime in a 6-3 ruling in February.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended

as \u201cpotential and certified refunds\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCBP\u2019s financial accounting system receives updates from Treasury that indicate these CBP certified refunds are being regularly dispersed,\u201d Brandon Lord, executive director of CBP\u2019s Trade Policy and Programs directorate, said in the filing with the US Court of International Trade.<\/p>\n<p>In its ruling, the US Supreme Court found that Trump exceeded his authority when he invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose fentanyl-related tariffs\u00a0on Canada, Mexico and China, and broader \u201creciprocal\u201d tariffs on more than 90 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Trump angrily denounced the ruling at the time, branding the six justices who sided against him \u201cfools\u201d and \u201clapdogs\u201d for the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling did not nullify Trump\u2019s tariffs on specific industries invoked under the 1962 Trade Expansion Act, leaving intact duties on goods including steel, automobiles and copper.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container--ads in-article-ads\">\n<div class=\"ads\"><span class=\"ads__title\"> Advertisement <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Following the Supreme Court\u2019s decision, the US Court of International Trade in March ruled that companies affected by the invalidated tariffs should be refunded.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has continued to roll out new tariffs since the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, his administration announced levies of 10-12.5 percent on imports from dozens of countries that officials claim have not taken sufficient action to combat forced labour.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, a group of 25 US states, including New York, California, Arizona and Colorado, filed a legal challenge against the latest tariffs, calling the measures a pretext to re-impose the duties struck down in February.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ListenListen (2 mins) Save Click here to share on social
