Gate News message, April 20 — The Trump administration opened a claims portal on Monday for U.S. companies to seek tariff refunds following a February Supreme Court decision. Importers are eligible to recover more than $160 billion in duties, with major retailers including Walmart, Target, Nike, Kohl’s, Gap, and Macy’s among those filing claims.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will process refunds in stages, with Phase 1 covering certain unliquidated entries and entries within 80 days of liquidation. Importers of Record and customs brokers can file CAPE Declarations through the web-based ACE Secure Data Portal using CSV files. CBP said valid refunds will generally be issued within 60 to 90 days following acceptance of the declaration.
According to Citi analysis, Walmart is due $10.2 billion, Target $2.2 billion, Nike $1 billion, Kohl’s $550 million, Gap $400 million, and Macy’s $320 million. CBP noted that refunds remain subject to liquidation laws and may be offset against any undisputed debts owed to the United States.
Meanwhile, Trump posted on Truth Social warning that countries supplying military weapons to Iran will face an immediate 50% tariff on all goods sold to the United States, with no exclusions or exemptions.

Trump First Explicitly Said “Regime Change” for Iran: The White House Officially Forwarded Three Signals
