Federal Express on Monday sued the U.S. government, seeking a "full refund" of the money the shipping giant paid for tariffs unilaterally imposed last year by President Donald Trump, which the Supreme Court ruled last week were illegal.
FedEx's suit appears to be the first filed by a major American company seeking a refund for tariffs after Friday's Supreme Court decision. Other companies filed lawsuits staking claims to their refunds before the high court ruled that the tariffs Trump imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act are illegal.
Those suits, whose plaintiffs include retail warehouse club giant Costco, remain pending at the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York, the same court where FedEx filed its lawsuit. The Supreme Court, in its ruling on Friday, said the Court of International Trade has "exclusive jurisdiction" over the IEEPA tariffs.
"Plaintiffs seek for themselves a full refund from Defendants of all IEEPA duties Plaintiffs have paid to the United States," Federal Express Corp, and its associated company, FedEx Logistics, say in the new lawsuit.
