Billions in Potential Tariff Refunds Following Landmark SCOTUS Ruling


DALLAS, TX — Following a monumental Supreme Court decision that has sent shockwaves through the global trade community, Michelle Schulz, founder of Schulz Trade Law, appeared on Fox 4 to provide critical guidance for U.S. importers.

The ruling, which voided significant portions of the administration’s sweeping tariff policies, has opened the door to potential refunds of $133 billion to $175 billion.


However, as Schulz warned viewers, the road to recovery is paved with regulatory hurdles.


"Dot Your I’s and Cross Your T’s"


During the segment, Schulz emphasized that the federal government will not simply issue checks to every business that paid the now-voided duties. Instead, the burden of proof rests on the companies to navigate a complex, technical protest process.

"They need to make sure they understand import compliance and that they understand how their duties are calculated," Schulz told Fox 4. "It's very important to dot your i's and cross your t's in this situation where you're asking for money back."

Why Precision is Non-Negotiable


For many businesses, these tariffs—often ranging from 10% to 25%—have significantly impacted bottom lines and consumer prices. Reclaiming that capital requires a three-pronged approach:

  1. Rigorous Audit: Verifying every HTS code and duty calculation.

  2. Compliance Verification: Ensuring past import records meet federal standards to prevent secondary audits.

  3. Strategic Filing: Navigating the specialized Court of International Trade to ensure claims are prioritized.




Is Your Business Eligible for a Refund?

Don't let administrative complexity prevent your company from recovering unlawfully collected duties. The window to file protests is limited.
