Refunds were not mentioned in today's ruling. Kavanaugh mentioned them in his dissent, but they appear to have been left for litigation. It would be chaos, I can tell you from the customs broker end!
10% worldwide flat rate to go into effect Monday under Section 122. Valid for 150 days and can only be extended by Congress. Goes into effect Tuesday, but there is also an in transit exemption, as with the other increases last year.

There will be more tariffs under Section 301 (this was used for the 2018 China duties) and Section 232 (industry wide duties, currently for steel, aluminum, copper, lumber, automotive). But these require investigations and hearings. Not fast.
This blew up my day. I spent all day answering emails and phone calls. Explaining this over and over, including the fact that refunds aren't provided for and there is NO process for them.
We are also holding a bunch of clearances until Monday. CBP and brokerage software providers have to update their systems to remove the reciprocal/fentanyl duties.
