Suzano seeks US tariff refund after Supreme Court strikes down duties

Suzano and two subsidiaries asked the US Court of International Trade in February 2026 to order Customs and Border Protection to reopen and refund import entries that had carried tariffs, days after the US Supreme Court struck those tariffs down. The court ruled on 20 February 2026 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorise the president to impose them. CBP plans to open the refund phase covering court-ordered reliquidations on 6 October 2026, after a delay from August.

Why this mattersA refund would return tariff costs on US-bound shipments and set the procedural path for other exporters waiting on court-ordered reliquidation.

• Suzano and two subsidiaries filed at the US Court of International Trade in February 2026, seeking an order for CBP to reliquidate tariffed import entries
• The US Supreme Court ruled on 20 February 2026 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorise the tariffs
• CBP's next refund phase, covering court-ordered reliquidations, is due to start on 6 October 2026 after being postponed from August
• The US government has appealed the broader reliquidation order to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
• The administration argues CBP cannot reopen a finally liquidated entry without a court order
