Plastic News Quotes Jonathan Todd on Tariff Refund Uncertainty

Benesch Partner Jonathan Todd was quoted in a recent Plastics News article, “What’s the tariff rebate process? ‘No one in America knows.’”

The article examines ongoing uncertainty around tariff refunds following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down most of President Trump’s tariffs. While the Court of International Trade has directed U.S. Customs to develop a repayment framework, key details about timing, filing requirements and eligibility remain unresolved. At the same time, the Trump administration appears to be exploring new tariffs through a Section 301 investigation into global manufacturing practices.

Jonathan emphasizes that significant uncertainty remains around the tariff refund process following the Supreme Court’s ruling. “No one in America knows precisely when the new program will launch, what exactly will be required to file, whether there will be filing deadlines and how quickly any refund will be received,” he notes, adding that additional legal hurdles could further delay or limit refunds.
