(Photo by Mario Tama\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">WASHINGTON \u2014 President Donald Trump\u2019s trade agenda faced another major setback Thursday when the U.S. Court of International Trade handed a win to two small businesses and the state of Washington after they challenged the president\u2019s 10% global tariffs, imposed after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his previous emergency tariff regime.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In a 2-1 decision, the court\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.cit.19694\/gov.uscourts.cit.19694.38.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">granted<\/a> a permanent injunction to a Florida-based toy manufacturer and a New York-based spice importer that sued the Trump administration in March, alleging the new tariffs would harm their businesses.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The court also granted relief to Washington state, which was among nearly two dozen states that sued over the tariffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Tariff \u2018bazooka\u2019<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jay Foreman,\u00a0CEO of toy company Basic Fun!, said he was \u201cextremely excited\u201d upon learning the decision.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt takes a lot of guts and chutzpah for small companies like us and Burlap and Barrel to put ourselves out on the line to fight what we feel is injustice and unfair,\u201d he said during a virtual press conference, referring to the other company named in the lawsuit, an online spice retailer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cCertainly, there\u2019s a place for tariffs on strategic products that make sense to protect in this country \u2026\u00a0 but in cases across the board, to approach this situation with a bazooka instead of a fine-tooth comb makes no sense, and it hurts companies like ours, hurts companies like Burlap and Barrel, hurts the consumer,\u201d Foreman said Thursday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Basic Fun! is behind popular toys, including Tonka Trucks and Care Bears.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Foreman said he expects imports that were subject to the tariffs to arrive as soon as tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI\u2019m already emailing my customs broker to make sure they\u2019re on it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The ruling only applies to the plaintiffs Basic Fun! and the online spice retailer Burlap and Barrel, and does not give universal relief to all businesses that must pay the blanket 10% tax on imports.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeffrey Schwab, who argued the case on behalf of the clients for the Liberty Justice Center, said the nonprofit advocacy law firm has been \u201cwrestling\u201d with what the decision means for other businesses that are paying the import tax.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt\u2019s not entirely clear, and probably will depend on what happens now if the government appeals. If the government seeks a stay that could have an effect. Certainly, I think companies will probably want to file (legal challenges), being concerned about making sure that the tariffs stop for them, and possibly ensuring that they get a refund too,\u201d Schwab said.<\/p>\n<h4>Win for Washington state<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The ruling also applies to Washington state as an importer subject to the tariffs, according to the ruling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Washington Attorney General Nick Brown called the ruling \u201ca win for both affordability and the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt\u2019s American consumers and businesses that have ultimately paid for the president\u2019s illegal tariff campaign,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cThe court\u2019s order will encourage more parties to challenge this illegal executive overreach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The judges ruled other states that sued did not have standing because they were \u201cnon-importers.\u201d Among them were Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump ordered the fresh round of tariffs on Feb. 20, the same day the U.S. Supreme Court\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/us-supreme-court-rules-against-trumps-tariffs-6-3-opinion-dealing-blow-trade-agenda\" target=\"_blank\">ruled<\/a>, in a 6-3 opinion, that his initial global tariffs under the 1977 International Economic Emergency Powers Act, or IEEPA, exceeded his presidential authority.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Following the Supreme Court loss, Trump\u2019s alternative tariffs, imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, went into effect on Feb. 24.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">U.S. Customs and Border Protection is now in the legally mandated process of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/show-me-money-businesses-line-166b-refunds-trumps-illegal-tariffs\" target=\"_blank\">refunding<\/a> businesses and importers who paid a collective $166 billion in IEEPA tariffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shipping cranes stand above container ships loaded with shipping containers at the Port of Los Angeles on Feb. 20, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.
