USFIA Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling Regarding IEEPA Tariffs
WASHINGTON, D.C. – USFIA President Julia Hughes issued the following statement:
“Today's Supreme Court decision is a tremendous victory for American consumers and American businesses. Fashion brands and retailers, who already pay some of the highest tariffs on apparel and footwear.
This is a positive step forward to improve affordability and remove the economic uncertainty that has held back many companies from making new investments.
We call on the Trump Administration to move quickly to develop an efficient and automatic refund process that returns tariff money to the businesses that have paid more than $133 billion in IEEPA tariffs.”'
