Part of the decision in that case\u00a0limited the use of universal injunctions, which apply a ruling to all people or companies affected, not just specific litigants.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Judge Richard Eaton, who is overseeing the tariff lawsuits in the Court of International Trade, has said the limits on universal injunctions don\u2019t apply in this case, but the government disagrees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CIT\u2019s universal injunctions, requiring the government to refund IEEPA duties for all importers (including non-party importers), cannot possibly be squared with CASA,\u201d \u2014 the court case that limited universal injunctions, the government wrote it its brief.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of tariff refunds have already been paid out. CBP has already processed and certified $100 billion in refunds. At issue are companies that paid tariffs that went through the customs process and entries were finalized. There\u2019s a Congressional rule that the CBP cannot reprocess tariffs for which the administrative refund process is no longer available. Those companies are free to file a lawsuit to get that money back, the government said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=5158\">Today\u2019s home equity loan and HELOC rates, August 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Court of International Trade (CIT) has already entered hundreds of such orders in suits brought by importers seeking that relief, and importers who have not yet brought such suits are free to do so within the statute of limitations,\u201d government lawyers wrote in the brief.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Barry Appleton, a law professor and co-director of New York Law School\u2019s Center for International Law, said it appears the government has the better legal argument, but businesses, especially smaller businesses, might suffer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government took this money under a law the Supreme Court said never authorized (tariffs).
