Case Summary

On November 11, 2025, Plaintiff, a Michigan-based importer, brought this suit against the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency, Rodney S. Scott, and the United States in the U.S. Court of International Trade. Plaintiffs sought to challenge President Trump’s 2025 IEEPA-driven tariff regime. The complaint charged that escalating tariffs on Mexico, Canada, China, and nearly all other trading partners, including reciprocal tariffs raised as high as 125%, forced importers to pay dramatically higher duties. Plaintiffs stressed that, under V.O.S. Selections v. Trump, CBP has no authority to collect said duties. Plaintiffs sought declaratory relief, an injunction halting further tariff collection, suspension of liquidation, and reimbursement of all IEEPA-based duties paid.

This case is one of several dozen that were consolidated with AGS Company Automotive Solutions v. United States Customs and Border Protection, the lead case regarding IEEPA duty liquidation as of December 3, 2025. On December 23, that case was stayed pending the Supreme Court's decision in V.O.S. Selections v. Trump. For more IEEPA litigation, including additional cases consolidated with AGS Company Automotive Solutions v. United States Customs and Border Protection, see here.
