Maureen Thorson

Maureen Thorson appears in The Supreme Court struck down a bunch of Trump’s tariffs. Now what? as the customs lawyer explaining why the Supreme Court ruling did not automatically answer the refund question. Her role is to translate the ruling into Tariff Refund Uncertainty for businesses that paid the invalidated tariffs.

The source uses her comments to separate importers from ordinary consumers. Importers may have customs records and procedural routes such as post summary correction or litigation, while consumers who only paid tariff-inflated prices at retail probably lack a direct refund path.
