Refund (like IRS) if SCOTUS denys cert or upholds appellate court unless they split the baby & say he can't do it but too bad for importer which doesn't make a lot of sense.

Can't happen here because the jurisdiction for tariffs is only in the 1 equivalent of a federal district court that deals just w/ tariffs & appeal only goes to the court that rendered the decision today & then SCOTUS. In other words no forum shopping in TX no jurisdiction.

Nothing dt has till Oct 14th or so to appeal to SCOTUS. If they deny cert or uphold appellate court the importer paying the tariff at the port of entry will be entitled to a refund just like the IRS issuing a refund. If they overrule well we no longer have only Conggress w/ the power to do tariffs.
