Washington Tariff Refund Lawsuits at the Court of International Trade
WA 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.
Washington State Tariff Refund Claims
Typically, when all parties reside in Washington, merchant refund lawsuits can be filed in the State’s county courts (WA Courts Website). The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) sets forth the State’s procedural law for financial disgorgement claims.
The State of Washington follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Washington refund lawyer can typically recoup wrongful payments regardless of what portion of fault may be assigned to the plaintiff. 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 Washington state law claims. As such, WA tariff refund claims are properly field with the U.S. Court of International Trade.
9th Circuit Tariff Refund Claims in Washington
Washington is part of the Ninth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 9th 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 Washington importers are properly filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade. (Follow this link for our additional information on 9th Circuit tariff compensation.)
