联邦快递周一就特朗普政府的关税政策提起诉讼，要求全额退还该公司根据一系列被最高法院裁定为非法的关税政策向政府缴纳的所有款项。
这份申诉文件已提交至美国国际贸易法院，这是最高法院上周裁定特朗普总统越权使用《国际紧急经济权力法》单方面对全球大部分地区征收大规模关税后，首个寻求关税退款的重大诉讼。
最高法院并未明确表示根据《国际紧急经济权力法》（IEEPA）缴纳关税的企业是否有权获得退款。预计这一问题将引发大量诉讼，这些诉讼将在下级法院审理过去一年缴纳的数十亿美元关税的退款事宜，贸易专家预测这将导致数年的法律纠纷。
联邦快递要求贸易法院下令，强制美国海关与边境保护局退还该公司去年根据联邦紧急权力法律缴纳的所有关税。
联邦快递在申诉文件中写道：”本法院有权下达补救救济令并退还进口商根据《国际紧急经济权力法》缴纳的关税。”文件还称：”原告已向美国缴纳了《国际紧急经济权力法》项下的关税，因此因这些命令遭受了损失。”
联邦快递发言人在一份声明中表示：”在监管变化中支持我们的客户仍然是我们的首要任务。在联邦最高法院裁定根据《国际紧急经济权力法》（IEEPA）实施的关税非法后，联邦快递已采取必要行动，作为报关进口商保护公司权益，向美国海关与边境保护局申请关税退款。”
在去年的季度财报电话会议上，该公司高管表示，由于特朗普政府的政策，预计2025年利润将减少10亿美元。
在诉讼中，这家物流公司要求退还”原告根据《国际紧急经济权力法》缴纳的所有关税及依法应计利息”，并要求额外资金支付法律费用。
联邦快递加入了在最高法院裁定前已提起诉讼的众多大型企业行列，其中包括批发商好市多（Costco）、美妆公司露华浓（Revlon）和食品公司Bumble Bee Foods。
这一问题因多家小企业的诉讼而提交至最高法院，其中包括总部位于纽约的葡萄酒进口商V.O.S. Selections和玩具制造商Learning Resources。
最高法院裁定后，特朗普总统迅速根据1974年的另一项贸易法律实施了新的15%全球关税，允许总统在不超过150天内征收关税以解决”巨额且严重的”国际收支逆差问题。
该裁定特别影响了根据《国际紧急经济权力法》（IEEPA）实施的关税，包括特朗普对数十个国家的”互惠”关税，以及针对加拿大、墨西哥和中国的与毒品走私相关的关税。但该裁定未影响根据其他法律实施的关税，包括对进口钢铁、铝和某些车辆征收的关税。
白宫尚未立即回应置评请求。

FedEx sues Trump administration for “full refund” of tariff payments
February 23, 2026 / 7:40 PM EST / CBS News
FedEx sued the Trump administration over its tariffs on Monday, asking for a “full refund” of all payments it made to the government under a set of tariff policies that were ruled illegal by the Supreme Court.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, is the first major lawsuit seeking tariff reimbursements since the high court ruled last week that President Trump had exceeded his authority when he used the International Economic Emergency Powers Act to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs on most of the world.
The Supreme Court did not indicate whether businesses that paid tariffs under IEEPA are entitled to refunds. The issue is expected to draw a flood of lawsuits that will be litigated in the lower courts over the billions of dollars in tariff payments that have been made over the last year, and trade experts have predicted years of legal wrangling.
FedEx sought an order from the trade court that would force Customs and Border Protection to refund all duties paid last year under the federal emergency powers law.
“This Court has jurisdiction and authority to order remedial relief and refunds of IEEPA duties paid by importers,” FedEx wrote in its complaint, adding, “Plaintiffs have paid IEEPA duties to the United States and thus have suffered injury caused by those orders.”
“Supporting our customers as they navigate regulatory changes remains our priority,” a FedEx spokesperson said in a statement. “FedEx has taken necessary action to protect the company’s rights as an importer of record to seek duty refunds from U.S. Customs and Border Protection following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that the tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are unlawful.”
On a quarterly earnings call last year, executives at the company said they expected a $1 billion hit to profits in 2025 because of the Trump administration’s policies.
In its suit, the logistics company asked for a refund of “the duties collected from Plaintiffs on all entries subject to IEEPA duties, with interest as provided by law,” plus additional funds to cover legal fees.
Fedex joined a number of other large corporations that sued before the Supreme Court ruled, including wholesaler Costco, beauty company Revlon and grocery company Bumble Bee Foods.
The issue reached the Supreme Court due to lawsuits from a number of small businesses, including New York-based wine importer V.O.S. Selections and toymaker Learning Resources.
After the high court’s ruling, President Trump quickly imposed a new 15% global tariff using a different trade law from 1974, which allows the president to impose duties for no more than 150 days to address “large and serious” balance-of-payment deficits.
The ruling specifically impacted tariffs that were issued under IEEPA, including Mr. Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs on dozens of countries and drug trafficking-related tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. It did not impact duties that were imposed under other laws, including tariffs on imported steel, aluminum and certain vehicles.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
