Airforwarders Association welcomes Supreme Court tariff ruling

The Supreme Court’s decision should bring a degree of clarity for U.S. businesses that rely on international trade.

Our members have seen firsthand how tariff measures negatively impact shipping volumes, pricing, and supply chain planning, and greater stability in trade policy is critical for the movement of goods.

While this ruling may reduce some immediate cost pressures, uncertainty around future trade actions continues to complicate long-term planning for importers, exporters, and the logistics providers that support them.

We now need clarity on how any tariff refunds will be processed, including the timeline, administrative requirements, and eligibility criteria, to ensure businesses can plan with confidence and reduce unnecessary costs.

The Airforwarders Association will continue to work with policymakers to prioritise clear, consistent trade frameworks that support economic growth and strengthen supply chain resilience.
