According to a recent LinkedIn post from Flexport, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has issued a temporary stay on the Court of International Trade’s ruling against President Trump’s 10% Section 122 tariff. The post notes that, during the stay, Section 122 tariffs will continue to be collected from the three plaintiffs previously granted relief, in line with all other importers.

The LinkedIn post indicates that, if the CIT ruling is ultimately upheld, any refunds of Section 122 tariffs would likely be processed through U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s existing infrastructure. However, Flexport’s commentary suggests there is still uncertainty around the scope of potential refunds and which importers might benefit, a factor that could influence trade costs and margin planning for affected companies.
As highlighted in the post, Flexport is directing importers to its blog for further guidance, implying the company is positioning itself as an advisor on tariff risk management and compliance. For investors, this focus on regulatory developments and client education may underscore Flexport’s role in helping customers navigate trade policy volatility, which could support client retention and demand for its logistics and customs brokerage services.
