Small businesses sue Trump administration over new tariffs

Two small U.S. businesses filed lawsuits in the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging President Trump’s latest 60-country tariff round under Section 301, arguing the administration lacks country-specific findings and seeking to halt enforcement and obtain refunds. The suits come as new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% took effect after the expiration of a temporary surcharge, intensifying ongoing legal battles over the administration’s use of Section 301.

Rivian Sues U.S. Government for Full Tariff Refund

Rivian filed a federal lawsuit seeking a full refund of Trump-era tariffs it says raised production costs, aiming for tens of millions to bolster its cash as it scales the R2 and pursues profitability by 2028. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that the tariffs were unconstitutional, with processing frictions at CBP creating delays in refunds that Rivian is trying to bypass via legal action.
