WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s administration has refunded about $100 billion from tariffs that it collected before the U.S. Supreme Court struck down those duties, a court filing showed.

The court filing in the U.S. Court of International Trade said that “refunds (duties plus interest) of approximately $100 billion have been completed using the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries Refund component, certified by the agency, and sent to the U.S. Department of Treasury for disbursement.”

The amount as of the end of July was noted in Tuesday’s filing by U.S. customs officials. It represented more than half of $166 billion collected in tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down in February.

Trump has made tariffs ​a central pillar of his foreign and trade policies despite legal setbacks and criticism from some analysts. Critics have complained that the refunds have not reached households but have instead gone to corporate importers.
