Scott Bessent demurs on plans to refund Trump’s IEEPA tariffs as admin rolls out plan B
Overview
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent deferred to the courts on how refunds for IEEPA tariffs should proceed; the new April 20 portal shows an administrative channel for claims but does not resolve who will ultimately decide eligibility. CBP’s stated inability to implement refunds without major technology upgrades still complicates whether applications submitted through the portal will lead to timely payments. Analysts warn that continued litigation and administrative hurdles could leave some money unclaimed.
