Nintendo Sues the U.S. Government Over “Unlawful” Trump Tariffs

## Executive Summary Nintendo of America has filed suit in the U.S. Court of International Trade against the Department of the Treasury, Department of Homeland Security, and Customs and Border Protection seeking restitution and interest for tariffs it says were unlawfully imposed under the Trump administration via the IEEPA after a recent Supreme Court decision; the company claims material injury and courts are being used to seek expedited refunds. The report also highlights concurrent supply-chain challenges—notably a global memory chip shortage—that could force price increases for Nintendo’s consoles, and notes CBP is preparing refund-processing mechanisms while political efforts to reintroduce tariffs are being explored.
