U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched an online portal on Monday, April 25, for businesses to begin claiming refunds for tariffs imposed by President Trump, allowing importers and their brokers to access the system from 8 a.m. This development followed Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey renewing calls on April 24 for the federal government to reimburse consumers for higher prices resulting from global tariffs that the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled illegal, as the government started reimbursing affected businesses. Earlier on April 24, the United States government began the process of refunding over $166 billion in tariffs after a Supreme Court ruling struck down a central component of President Trump’s trade policy, triggering a scramble among importers to reclaim duties. Concurrently, Senator Edward J. Markey pressed major retailers and shipping groups on April 24 to pass these tariff repayments back to consumers and small businesses, noting a lack of firm commitment from many companies in previous responses to his March inquiries. Separately, CBP introduced a new pilot program, the Coordinated Access Program (CAP), on Thursday, April 24, which offers expedited border lanes for students living in Mexico but studying in San Diego, aiming to streamline their cross-border travel.
