IEEPA Tariff Refunds: June 9 CIT Hearing on Liquidated Entries and Class Certification

A comprehensive analysis of the June 9, 2026 Court of International Trade hearing before Judge Richard K. Eaton on completing the repayment of approximately 166 billion dollars in IEEPA tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, including the March 4 refund order and the government appeal, the status of CBP CAPE portal refunds following the June 4 court filing, the May 27 orders in Euro-Notions Florida v. United States, the liquidation finality problem under 19 U.S.C. §§ 1501 and 1514 affecting millions of informal entries, the pending class certification request, and the practical steps California importers operating through the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland should take to preserve and pursue their refunds.

IEEPA tariff refunds entered a decisive new phase on June 9, 2026, when Senior Judge Richard K. Eaton of the United States Court of International Trade convened an in-person hearing in Manhattan to address how the government will return the remaining portion of the roughly 166 billion dollars in tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and held unlawful by the Supreme Court in February.
