华盛顿3月31日电（路透社）——美国海关署周二表示，其正在推进一项简化流程，用于退还被最高法院认定为非法的约1660亿美元关税收入，但新系统审核和处理退款申请或需长达45天。
美国海关与边境保护局官员布兰登·洛德在提交给美国国际贸易法院的文件中称，新的退款索赔门户网站、审核、处理及退款系统的开发目前已完成60%至85%。他未给出申请启动日期，但该机构此前曾设定45天的目标时限，该时限将于4月底到期。

洛德在周二的声明文件中表示，新系统将分阶段接受索赔申请，首批优先处理的是前80天内已完成结关或最终确定的海关申报条目，以及结关状态为“暂停、延期或正在审核”的条目。
他还表示，初始阶段还将接受包含仓库及仓库提货申报的申请。
文件同时指出，约26664名备案进口商已完成电子退款接收流程，占根据《国际紧急经济权力法》缴纳关税或保证金的申报条目总数的78%，涉及金额总计1200亿美元。

美国最高法院上月驳回了唐纳德·特朗普总统根据《国际紧急经济权力法》实施的最广泛全球关税政策，重创了其政府的核心经济政策。
根据法庭文件，超过33万家进口商在5300万批货物上缴纳了该法下的关税。
最高法院未就2025年2月以来向进口商征收的关税退款事宜给出指导意见，将该问题交由位于纽约市的国际贸易法院处理。
包括联邦快递在内的多家大型进口商已起诉海关与边境保护局，以维护自身获得退款的权利，而特朗普曾表示退款流程可能需要长达五年时间。许多小型进口商则担心退款流程的成本会超过追回款项的收益。
国际贸易法院法官理查德·伊顿本月早些时候命令海关与边境保护局使用现有系统开始处理退款，但该机构反而提议了一套新流程，最快可于下月开始接受退款申请，且无需进口商提起诉讼。

WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) – The U.S. customs agency said on Tuesday it was making progress in setting up a streamlined process for refunding some $166 billion in tariff collections deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, but that its new system could take up to 45 days to review and process refund applications.
In a filing with the U.S. Court of International Trade, U.S. Customs and Border Protection official Brandon Lord said development of a new refund claims portal, review, processing and refund system is now between 60% and 85% complete. He did not provide a start date for applications, but the agency previously had indicated a 45-day goal, a deadline that ends in late April.

In the declaration filing on Tuesday, Lord said the new system will begin accepting claims in phases, with first priority given to those customs entries liquidated, or finalized, within the preceding 80 days and entries whose liquidation status has been “suspended, extended, or under review.”
The initial phase will also accept declarations containing warehouse and warehouse withdrawal entries, Lord said.
The filing also said some 26,664 importers of record had completed the process to receive electronic refunds, representing 78% of entries for which duties or deposits under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act had been paid, an amount totaling $120 billion.

The U.S. Supreme Court last month struck down President Donald Trump’s broadest global tariffs under IEEPA, dealing a blow to the central economic policy of his administration.
More than 330,000 importers paid the IEEPA tariffs on 53 million shipments, according to court documents.
The Supreme Court did not provide guidance on refunding the tariff payments that had been collected from importers since February 2025, leaving that matter to the Court of International Trade in New York City.
Many large importers such as FedEx sued CBP to protect their right to a refund, which Trump said could take up to five years. Many smaller importers feared the cost of the refund process would outweigh the benefits of trying to get reimbursed.
Judge Richard Eaton of the Court of International Trade earlier this month ordered CBP to begin processing refunds using its existing system, but the agency instead proposed a new process that would be ready to accept refund applications as soon as next month and would not require importers to sue.
