Trump tariff refunds begin

American importers can now begin the complex process of reclaiming billions of dollars paid in illegal tariffs over the past year.

The US Customs and Border Protection portal opened on Monday, though many small businesses reported technical glitches and delays in the system.

While major retailers like Walmart and Target are expected to receive significant payouts, consumers are unlikely to see immediate price reductions.

The administration is also facing criticism for introducing new levies that may offset the impact of the refunds.
