On May 28, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Donald Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by imposing a series of broad tariffs. The ruling blocked several major measures, including the “Liberation Day” tariffs—a 10% tariff on all imports and country-specific rates of up to 50%—as well as additional tariffs targeting Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese goods. The Trump administration has filed a single consolidated appeal of this decision, titled V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. United States. This market will resolve to “Yes” if, by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, both of the following occur: 1. The Trump administration’s appeal in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. United States is denied, in whole or in part 2. U.S. importers receive refunds of at least some tariffs invalidated by the May 28, 2025 ruling, where such refunds occur as a consequence of the denial, in whole or in part, of the Trump administration’s appeal. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Announcements, court orders, or plans to issue refunds will not be sufficient for resolution unless actual refunds are issued within the market timeframe. For purposes of this market, a “refund” includes direct payments, credits, or offsets issued to importers by U.S. Customs and Border Protection or the U.S. Treasury reflecting repayment of previously collected tariffs. If the appeal is fully upheld and no refunds are issued, this market will resolve to “No”. The primary resolution source will be official government or court information, or a consensus of credible reporting.Following the Supreme Court's February 20, 2026, 6-3 ruling that President Trump's IEEPA tariffs were unlawful, the U.S. Court of International Trade on March 4 ordered refunds with interest for importers, potentially exceeding $166 billion, directing Customs and Border Protection to process claims. This judicial mandate, amid initial agency delays and a brief refund pause, underpins the 64% Yes trader consensus, reflecting skin-in-the-game assessments of enforcement likelihood. Recent Trump administration announcements confirm a refund portal launch on April 20, covering 82% of entries electronically, though businesses press for swift compliance and watch for appeals or procedural hurdles before the market's June 30 resolution.
