Clearinghouse coding complete
A Canadian auto parts maker, GK Industries America, and an affiliate, brought this tariff challenge in the Court of International Trade on May 14, 2025. Plaintiffs sued the United States, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Trade Representative, arguing that two tariff schedules against China set in 2018 and 2019 exceeded the President's tariff authority under the Trade Act of 1974, 19 U.S.C. § 2411 et seq. Plaintiffs seek to invalidate certain actions, obtain a permanent injunction against the challenged tariffs, and have payments under the tariffs made in the two years prior to suit refunded.
The case is ongoing.
