A lawsuit was filed last Friday challenging the legality of the Section 301 tariffs on China. It specifically challenges List 3 and List 4. The nature of legal remedy they are relying on means that if they are successful the plaintiffs would recover all Section 301 tariffs back to the date the tariff was first applied. HOWEVER relief will NOT BE AVAILABLE to others who have paid those tariffs. The only way to get relief, if relief is granted, is to FILE YOUR OWN lawsuit. AND YOU MUST ACT QUICKLY, the deadline to file is Friday, September 18, 2020.
Here's a link to the lawsuit
If you Google on "Court No. 20-00177" you will find several trade lawyers who can explain this action.
Back in September 2018 I posted my opinion that a lawsuit might be successful, but due to high cost and the likelihood of winning no one, until now, has attempted this approach.
Now, with this lawsuit commenced I suggest you contact whoever you use as an international trade attorney ask for a consultation to determine whether you should act quickly and file your own suit.
