U.S. Government Claims Processing Tariff Refunds Will Take 4,431,161 Hours

Odaily According to the New York Times, following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling last month that the U.S. government's large-scale tariffs were illegal, a large number of American companies quickly filed lawsuits hoping to reclaim the payments they had made. However, the U.S. government subsequently indicated there is a problem: relevant departments may need up to 4,431,161 hours (approximately 506 years) to manually process all refund applications.
