While the decision was clear on the legality of IEEPA-based tariffs, it left critical questions unresolved regarding refunds, timing, and future trade policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis decision was broad and clear with respect to the legality of IEEPA-based tariffs,\u201d said Elizabeth K.

Yet, experts caution that the path to reimbursement will be far from straightforward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBP has proposed a new refund mechanism within its Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), which would require importers to submit claims for review and recalculation before Treasury-issued payments. Even under optimistic assumptions, the system may take at least 45 days to launch, with actual refunds likely taking months or potentially years once claims are submitted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe number of open questions right out of the gate exceeds the answers we have,\u201d said Ashley Craig, partner at Venable LLP.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Court_Expands_Eligibility_But_Limits_Remain\"><\/span><b>Court Expands Eligibility, But Limits Remain<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent rulings from the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) have broadened the pool of eligible importers. On March 4, Judge Richard Eaton ordered CBP to liquidate or reliquidate all entries subject to IEEPA tariffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, only entries that remain unliquidated or fall within a 90-day reliquidation window are clearly covered under the standard administrative process. For other entries, legal experts advise that filing claims at the CIT may be the most reliable path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are importers taking a conservative approach by filing both protests and court claims,\u201d said Lowe. \u201cFiling at the CIT ensures access to refunds for all entries, regardless of liquidation status.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Administration_Resistance_Could_Delay_Payouts\"><\/span><b>Administration Resistance Could Delay Payouts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the rulings, experts warn that the administration may resist or slow the refund process. Justice Department attempts to delay proceedings, combined with Treasury statements indicating possible year-long timelines for payouts, suggest that importers should prepare for extended delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI expect the administration to push back and try to minimize payouts wherever possible,\u201d said Wes Sudduth, another Venable partner.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/mexico-ships-75-of-its-cars-to-500m-logistics\/\">Mexico Ships 75% of Its Cars to the U.S. as New $500M Logistics Hub Rises in Texas<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"APM_Terminals_Expands_Lazaro_Cardenas_Capacity\"><\/span><b>APM Terminals Expands L\u00e1zaro C\u00e1rdenas Capacity<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In logistics news, APM Terminals has completed Phase II of its container terminal at Mexico\u2019s Port of L\u00e1zaro C\u00e1rdenas and announced plans for a $350 million Phase III expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase II upgrades added automation, electric cranes, and advanced cargo tracking systems, raising throughput capacity to 2 million TEUs annually.
