FedEx sues the U.S. Government for tariff refunds after Supreme Court ruling deemed the tariffs illegal.
U.S. delivery and freight giant FedEx sued the Trump administration on Monday (February 23, 2026), seeking to reclaim money it paid for tariffs that have now been ruled illegal.
The Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s signature global tariffs last week, ruling that he had exceeded his authority in tapping emergency economic powers to impose them.

FedEx is seeking a “full refund” of the duties it paid on imported goods in its suit against Customs and Border Protection, filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade.
The lawsuit appears to be the first from a major company since the Supreme Court ruling, which did not address how refunds would be handled – though one justice acknowledged it could be a “mess.”
