Did a judge rule that Oklahoma’s corporations are entitled to a refund for the overturned Trump tariffs?

Yes.

In February, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled President Trump’s April 2025 imposition of a slate of tariffs, imposed under the invocation of the Emergency Economic Powers Act, unconstitutional. 

In March, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled in favor of a Tennessee filler company claiming the right to a tariff refund, stating that all importers of record are entitled to benefit. 

Estimated IEEPA tariffs paid through December 2025 total nearly $130 billion, including $787.6 million in Oklahoma, according to Axios.

Customs and Border Patrol could pay out an estimated $175 billion in refunds, though its recently launched refund portal is available only to importers using CBP’s electronic payment system, leaving more than 80% of importers ineligible. 

Businesses are not obligated to issue refunds to American consumers, though delivery companies such as UPS and FedEx have promised to pass refunds on to consumers who paid direct tariff fees.
