The legal landscape surrounding U.S. trade policy is shifting rapidly, with the Supreme Court now weighing the scope of presidential authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). This high-stakes litigation could reshape tariff enforcement and open the door to refund claims for importers affected by duties imposed under emergency powers.

In this timely webinar, we will explore:

  • IEEPA Tariffs Under Scrutiny: A breakdown of the Supreme Court case challenging the legality of tariffs imposed under IEEPA, including key arguments, judicial skepticism, and potential outcomes.
  • Refund Rights and Procedures: What importers need to know about preserving refund claims, navigating customs protocols, and preparing for possible retroactive relief.
  • Constitutional and Statutory Implications: How the case could redefine executive authority in trade matters and impact future tariff regimes.
  • Practical Guidance for Trade Professionals: Steps that companies should take now to mitigate risk, document entries, and position themselves for potential recovery.

Whether you’re working with importers, managing compliance, or monitoring trade litigation, this session offers essential insights into one of the most consequential legal battles in international trade today.
