South Carolina Tariff Refund Lawsuits at the Court of International Trade
SC tariff refund lawsuits are being filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade. This court maintains specialized import tariff jurisdiction distinct from state courts, or the U.S. District Court.
South Carolina State Tariff Refund Claims
Typically, when all parties reside in South Carolina, merchant refund lawsuits can be filed in the State’s county courts (SC Courts Website). The South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for financial disgorgement claims.
The State of South Carolina follows a modified聽comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a South Carolina refund lawyer can typically recoup wrongful payments provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the merchant’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
With respect to IEEPA tariff refund claims, federal law preempts South Carolina state law claims. As such, SC tariff refund claims are properly field with the U.S. Court of International Trade.
4th Circuit Tariff Refund Claims in South Carolina
South Carolina is part of the Fourth聽Circuit of the federal court system, and merchant refund lawsuits can typically be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Reimbursement appeals are heard by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the claim amount satisfies the statutory minimal requirements, refunds can be pursued in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal IEEPA tariff lawsuits brought by South Carolina importers are properly filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade. (Follow this link for our additional information on 4th Circuit tariff compensation.)
