SCOTUS ruled that tariff refunds for Trump duties are legal and are in the initial stages of being processed.
Key Details on Tariff Refunds:
The Ruling: A federal judge in the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled on March 4, 2026, that "all importers of record" are entitled to refunds for tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Supreme Court Precedent: This follows a Supreme Court decision that deemed these "reciprocal" tariffs—which were applied to nearly every country—as unconstitutional, arguing that taxation power belongs to Congress, not the president unilaterally.
Amount at Stake: The government is estimated to owe between $166 billion and $182 billion in refunds, plus potential interest.
Trump has been an utter failure. No border wall. No deportations. Still paying for Ukraine. New "forever" war with Iran.
Since OP failed to, let me save you a click.
Also, from the comments
A reply series of replies notes that the announced $449 price was the announced price before tariffs were active.
The Switch2 is priced at ~USD$335 in Japan.
They always had a very large margin of profitability to absorb tarifs.
Lol
