South Dakota Tariff Refund Lawsuits at the Court of International Trade
SD 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 Dakota State Tariff Refund Claims
Typically, when all parties reside in South Dakota, merchant refund lawsuits can be filed in the State’s county courts (SD Courts Website). The South Dakota Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for financial disgorgement claims.
The State of South Dakota follows a slight/gross聽comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a South Dakota refund lawyer can typically recoup wrongful payments provided any negligence by the plaintiff is “slight”. 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 Dakota state law claims. As such, SD tariff refund claims are properly field with the U.S. Court of International Trade.
8th Circuit Tariff Refund Claims in South Dakota
South Dakota is part of the Eighth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 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
