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 indicates that, during the stay, Section 122 tariffs will continue to be collected from the three plaintiffs that had briefly received relief, as well as from other importers.

The company’s LinkedIn post suggests that, if the CIT ruling is ultimately upheld, potential refunds of the tariffs would likely be processed through U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s existing systems. However, the post notes uncertainty around how broadly such refunds could apply across the importer base, highlighting regulatory risk that may affect landed costs, trade flows, and margin planning for affected companies.
Flexport’s post points readers to its blog for detailed guidance to importers, signaling that the firm is positioning itself as an advisory and logistics partner amid ongoing trade-policy volatility. For investors, the situation underscores continued policy-driven uncertainty in U.S. import tariffs, which could influence client demand for Flexport’s services as companies seek to navigate possible future refunds and compliance requirements.
