In what is to be the biggest repayment programme in history, companies can apply online for money they were charged under the so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs - plus interest - to be returned.

The US Court of International Trade in March ordered customs officials to refund the more than $160bn (£121bn) the government had collected, putting roughly 330,000 importers in a position to potentially win back some money.

But some individual consumers, who were hit by the tariffs indirectly through higher prices, are not expected to be compensated.

Its yet another mechanism to squeeze from us, then give that to large companies owned by rich assholes.

They never figure out a way to not take our money or to take it from big companies and give it to us. And money doesn't come out of the ground. Its our labor! They are stealing our work hours.
