Minnesota congressional bill aims to help small businesses — Supreme Court tariff refunds

Minnesota small businesses are seeking refunds after the Supreme Court ruled that the government needs to refund $166 billion in tariffs payments after finding said tariffs to be illegal.

Official response and confirmed impact

FOX 9's Corin Hoggard has more. A proposed federal hotline could help small businesses still trying to recover tariff payments.

According to the Center for American Progress, tariffs cost small businesses about $35 billion. Marshall said the damage at Mischief Toys has gone beyond the bill.

Marshall said Mischief Toys lost Canadian suppliers that used to make fidget toys and can no longer get knitting kits it used to buy from England.

He said he does not know if there is a way to repair those supplier relationships.

Target has already gotten back nearly $1 billion and Walmart got $2.9 billion.

Some small business owners have gotten money back too, but many are still confused by the process and feel left behind.
