Navigating the Post-Trump Tariff Refund Landscape: Expert Advice from Michelle Schulz
Dallas Trade Law Expert Explains How Companies Can Secure Refunds on Unconstitutional Duties
Overview: The international trade world recently experienced a seismic shift. With the Supreme Court deeming significant portions of the Trump administration’s tariff policies void, thousands of U.S. companies may now be eligible for substantial refunds. However, reclaiming those tariff refunds isn't as simple as sending an invoice to the government.
In a recent interview on Your Money Now, Michelle Schulz, founder of Schulz Trade Law and a leading expert in international trade litigation, laid out the roadmap for businesses looking to recover their duty payments.
The Path to Recovery: Precision and Compliance
As Schulz points out, the burden of proof rests entirely on the importer. When the stakes involve federal refunds, the government’s scrutiny is at an all-time high.
"It's very important to dot your i's and cross your t's in this situation where you're asking for money back," Schulz noted.
To successfully navigate this process, Schulz identifies two critical pillars for any recovery strategy:
Deep-Dive Import Compliance: Before filing a claim, companies must ensure their entire import history is beyond reproach. Any existing compliance gaps could not only jeopardize a refund but potentially trigger an unwanted audit.
Granular Duty Calculation: Understanding exactly how your duties were calculated—and where the specific voided policies applied—is essential. Accuracy in these technical calculations is the difference between a successful claim and a rejected one.
Don't Leave Money on the Table
The complexity of trade law means that many companies may not even realize the full extent of the refunds they are owed. The transition from policy to litigation to actual recovery requires a meticulous, legally-sound approach.
