Oshkosh Corp and toy maker Basic Fun said the U.S. government has started issuing partial refunds for import tariffs paid under the Trump administration that were later ruled illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The refunds are part of a broader effort that could return up to
$166 billion to importers, although companies say the process is moving slowly. Basic Fun CEO Jay Foreman said the company has so far received
$400,000 of the
$7.4 million it requested, describing the payments as arriving “drop by drop.” Oshkosh also confirmed it has begun receiving partial repayments but did not disclose the amount claimed.
U.S. Customs officials said more than 56,000 importers had completed the required paperwork by early April, covering roughly
$127 billion in imports eligible for reimbursement. In total, more than 330,000 importers paid tariffs on 53 million shipments.
