Importers filed suit at the US Court of International Trade to try to stop the process of determining final tariff payments while the Supreme Court was considering the case, but that court denied the request. The case will now go back to the Court of International Trade to sort through the refunds. More than 1,000 lawsuits have been filed by importers in the trade court seeking refunds, and a flood of new cases is likely. The Court of International Trade has overseen large-scale refunds before. The Court of International Trade oversaw a refund process involving more than 100,000 claimants that was managed by Judge Jane Restani, who remains on the court.
