Amazon says it received about $600 million in tariff refunds in the second quarter and will pass some of those amounts back to customers. The company says it will automatically issue reimbursements under a “limited set of circumstances,” without specifying additional details in the reports.
The refunds relate to tariffs that were challenged in court. After the Supreme Court ruled that many of President Donald Trump’s tariff levies were illegal, businesses faced the question of whether they could recover tariff costs and whether they would do so. Earlier reporting notes that Amazon had not previously disclosed whether it would recoup those costs from payments collected from consumers.
In the current disclosure, Amazon confirms the refund amount it received and provides a plan for returning a portion to shoppers, rather than indicating a broad, universal refund. The company’s reimbursement approach is described as limited, suggesting it applies only to certain qualifying transactions. The reports do not outline the full criteria or timing beyond automatic issuance in those circumstances.
