Billions are headed back to businesses. After court rulings invalidated parts of Trump's tariffs, the U.S. is now issuing refunds totaling over $81 billion. Importers who paid those extra duties are finally getting reimbursed. For companies hit hard by years of higher costs on goods, this money is a big relief and a cash flow reset. The refunds follow legal challenges that found the tariffs were not properly applied.
