Small businesses across the US are reportedly struggling to navigate the fallout from Donald Trump’s global tariff wars and the legal battles surrounding them.
Last month, the US supreme court struck down the president’s so-called “liberation day” tariffs, potentially opening the door to as much as $175bn in refunds for businesses that paid the import taxes but the process for claiming that money is complex and uncertain.
For many smaller firms, the tariffs have already driven up costs and created uncertainty around pricing, supply chains and hiring. Some businesses are now facing legal fees and administrative hurdles as they try to recover the money they paid.
We would like to hear from small business owners in the US about how the tariffs and the uncertainty have affected you. Have the tariffs increased your costs or forced you to raise prices? Are you trying to claim a refund, and if so, what has the process been like?
