I'm not sure I see what this has to do with the Court of International Trade.
The illegal tariffs were paid by U.S. businesses, and American consumers like me who purchased something from abroad with no middleman. They (we) are the ones clearly owed monies that were taken from them illegally by the Trump administration.
I understand yours and Samoth's points about "second order effects" that resulted from business decisions after the tariffs were paid. But I don't see anything being done because of the complexity pointed out by Samoth.
Reimbursing the tariffs should be simple. It was a tax paid by someone to the Federal government, just like your income tax. There are records for every single payer to the dollar and cent.
Give it back. What could be easier? The IRS gives back over 100,000,000 tax refunds every single year. Clearly it can be done, and should be done. There is no valid excuse not to. It was illegal, and the federal government has a process to give back overpaid taxes
Just give it back.
