Shipping giant FedEx has filed a federal lawsuit seeking full reimbursement for emergency tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. The legal action comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that the tariffs were unlawful.
Shipping giant FedEx has taken legal action against the federal government, demanding repayment of tariffs the company paid during former President Donald Trump’s administration.
The Memphis-based logistics company filed the lawsuit Monday in the U.S. Court of International Trade, following last week’s Supreme Court ruling that declared Trump’s emergency tariffs unlawful.
In court documents, FedEx stated it wants complete reimbursement from the government for all duties it paid under the emergency measures. The tariffs were originally implemented by Trump using authority granted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
“Plaintiffs seek for themselves a full refund from Defendants of all IEEPA duties Plaintiffs have paid to the United States,” the company wrote in its legal filing.
The lawsuit represents FedEx’s effort to recover what could amount to significant financial losses from the now-invalidated trade policy.
