The Vision Council Urges Importers to Act Now on IEEPA Refunds as New Tariff Waves Loom

ALEXANDRIA, Va.—During a June 15 webinar, The Vision Council reviewed the fast-moving tariff landscape for optical importers and urged its members to move quickly on refund claims tied to the now-invalidated tariffs that were issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), as well as prepare for a possible wave of new duties later this summer. Rick Van Arnam, regulatory affairs counsel for The Vision Council, led the webinar, offering insight into the refund process, the potential government appeal, updates on Section 122 duties and the looming Section 301 duties expected to be enacted in July.
