$166bn tariff refunds delayed? Trump admin secures relief from US court’s ‘immediate compliance’ order
07-Mar-2026

The US Court of International Trade offered temporary relief to the Donald Trump administration on Friday (US time) by suspending a previous order that pressed US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) “to the extent that it directs immediate compliance” on tariff refunds, according to a new Reuters report. This comes after the CBP reiterated on Friday that it could not immediately start issuing tariff refunds, which amount to about $166 billion, as per a recent filing by the Trump administration. In the official documents filed this week, CBP said that its existing “administrative procedures and technology” were not suited to immediately comply with Judge Richard Eaton’s previous order on the IEEPA tariffs. The US Supreme Court ruled those duties illegal last month.
