When retail giant Costco challenges presidential tariff authority in court, every business owner who imports goods should pay attention. Parag Amin, Managing Attorney and Founder of LawPLA, recently joined ARC Seattle to analyze Costco’s major lawsuit against Trump-era tariffs and explain why this case could fundamentally reshape U.S. trade law. During the segment, Parag broke down the complex tariff liquidation process that makes it nearly impossible for companies to contest import duties, and why Costco took the unusual step of filing suit before the Supreme Court even issued its ruling on presidential emergency powers.
The stakes extend far beyond one retailer’s bottom line. Parag explained how the International Emergency Economic Powers Act is being tested in ways that could redefine presidential authority over international trade, with billions of dollars hanging in the balance. For California business owners who rely on imported goods, this Supreme Court decision could determine whether they have meaningful recourse against tariff policies that threaten their profitability.
