What this lawsuit is about

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down certain tariffs. Watts Law Firm LLP now represents businesses working to recover import taxes the federal government collected under emergency powers. This matter targets tariffs imposed under International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) executive orders. It does not cover tariffs imposed only under Section 232, which applies to steel and aluminum. Attorney Mikal Watts is the firm's named attorney explaining the lawsuit.

Do you qualify? You must meet every requirement

To be eligible, your business must meet all of these. It must be a U.S.-registered business. It must have been the Importer of Record (IOR).

And those tariffs must have been paid between February 2025 and February 24, 2026. If any one of these is not met, your business does not qualify.
