The RELIEF Act requires the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner to refund all tariffs and duties collected since January 1, 2025, that were imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The refunds must be issued within 90 days of the bill's passage and will go to the importers of record, without requiring them to file applications or protests to receive the money. This legislation effectively reverses tariffs imposed during this period, benefiting businesses and importers that paid these duties on imported goods. The bill streamlines the refund process by allowing Customs to use existing information to calculate and disburse amounts owed automatically, rather than requiring companies to navigate a formal claims process.
