FedEx to Begin Returning IEEPA Tariff Refunds to Customers Starting in August, Prioritizing Data-Sharing Shippers

Summary

FedEx announced on June 25 that it will begin returning tariff refunds to eligible customers starting in August, marking the next phase of a large-scale reimbursement process linked to IEEPA duties that were invalidated by the Supreme Court. The carrier will prioritize returning duties first to shippers that opt in to sharing shipment and refund data with vendor partners. The process follows months of legal and logistical complexities as carriers including UPS and DHL also outlined their approaches to refunding customers for invalidated tariffs earlier in 2026.
