A surprise credit after an overseas purchase: The tariff refunds now flowing through shippers

NEW YORK (AP) — If you bought something from an overseas vendor last year, it might be time to check your bank account. Shippers including FedEx and UPS that acted as customs brokers for imported packages and received tariff refunds from the U.S. government have started to pass on those refunds to the customers that originally paid the tariffs. The refunds to consumers are the last step in a monthslong process that kicked off in February when the Supreme Court struck down sweeping tariffs implemented by President Donald Trumpin March 2025 under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act on goods from almost every country. The court ordered the government to return the tariffs it collected. So far, about $100 billion in tariffs have been refunded to companies who paid them under a system set up by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. That doesn't mean Americans will get anywhere close to what they paid in tariffs, since most were paid indirectly. In 2025, the Trump tariffs amounted to an average tax increase of $1,000 per U.S. household, according to the Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C., group that studies taxes. But some consumers are getting some of what they paid directly back from shippers including UPS, DHL and FedEx. The refunds are being rolled out in phases based on what date they were paid. Shippers have said they'll return the refunds on a rolling basis as they receive them. Tariff refunds from shippers will be directly refunded to credit cards or bank accounts FedEx said it has begun the process of issuing $800 million in tariff refunds it received from the government back to the customers that paid them. Customers don't need to apply to receive their refund, but they can enter tracking numbers for purchased items into a portal on the FedEx website to see whether or not they are due a refund. UPS said in April it had paid $5 billion in tariffs on behalf of clients and would begin the process of applying to the government for refunds. In the first phase, it applied for $500 million in refunds and said customers should get refunds one to three months after it receives reimbursement from the Treasury. DHL similarly said that it has filed claims for almost all eligible shipments where it served as the importer of record and is returning the refunds it has received. "The volume and pace of refunds continue to depend on CBP's processing of claims," DHL said in a statement. Major retailers say they could give back some refunds but mostly will use them to lower prices Story Continues Unlike shippers who collected tariffs directly from customers, most big retailers passed on tariffs in indirect ways, changing their product lineups or partly absorbing higher costs, making a consumer refund unlikely. Amazon executives said last week the company received $600 million in tariff refunds in the second quarter. In a call with investors, Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky said the company isn't the importer of record on most of the goods it sells and that it has absorbed some tariff costs. But he said the company has "identified a limited set of circumstances where we can trace that we pass specific import charges on to customers." In those circumstances, he added, "we will proactively contact affected customers and automatically issue refunds to them." Otherwise, he said, Amazon will use tariff refunds to lower prices for customers. That echoes what other large retailers have said. In May, Cori Barrie, outgoing CEO of Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics chain, said the retailer is an importer of record of only about 2% to 3% of what it sells and that the company would use any refund it gets to "deliver value back to our customers." And Costco CEO Ron Vachris said the company planned to return "in some form" the tariffs that were passed on to consumers. "How much we return and when depends on a variety of factors, including how much refund money we receive and when it arrives as well as developments in the lawsuit f
