Why it matters: A CBP refund system launching after the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs converts a legal ruling into actual cash back to importers, a real earnings/working-capital benefit for tariff-exposed importers and retailers with a mild broad-market positive.

At publish time: Headline names a concrete launch date (April 20) for a government refund mechanism tied to the Feb 20 Supreme Court ruling against IEEPA tariffs, and says CBP expects only minimal importer submissions, so the refunds are operational rather than rhetorical.
