On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were unauthorized. For importers who paid these tariffs, the Supreme Court’s decision may create recovery opportunities through an established refund process.

Nearly 1,500 companies have already filed suit at the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) to preserve their refund eligibility, and the window for others may be closing fast.
