Earlier today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) granted a motion for immediate issuance of mandates in the lead cases on the legality of tariffs imposed under IEEPA.

In a separate order, visible with a PACER account, the CAFC sent the case back to the Court of International Trade (CIT) to solve the issuance of refunds resulting from IEEPA tariffs. This motion was granted as the government sought additional time for either the court to wait the traditional time before issuing its mandate, or time for Congress to arrive at a solution for the refund issue.

With the case now before the CIT we will continue to watch for developments on the exact mechanisms the court will deem appropriate for seeking IEEPA tariff refunds.
