Rivian Sues US Government for Tariff Refund
Home > Electric Vehicles Rivian Sues US Government for Tariff Refund The EV maker says a Supreme Court ruling striking down "Liberation Day" tariffs isn't enough — it wants a guaranteed refund with interest. The suit, filed on Thursday in the US Court of International Trade, names the US government, US Customs and Border Protection and CBP commissioner Rodney Scott as defendants. The automaker wants the court to declare the tariffs “contrary to law,” order a refund with interest, and require CBP to cover associated court fees.
