DOJ Plans to Appeal CIT’s IEEPA Tariff Refund Injunction
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has indicated plans to appeal an injunction from the Court of International Trade (CIT) regarding tariff refunds under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The injunction previously required the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to process refunds for relevant importers, and the CBP commissioner has been ordered to appear in court to explain the progress of the refund process.
