Amazon announced it received $600 million in tariff refunds during the second quarter after the Supreme Court invalidated many of former President Donald Trump’s tariffs. These levies, which had been imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, were ruled illegal earlier this year, forcing the government to reimburse companies for duties paid on imported goods. Amazon’s Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky confirmed on the company’s earnings call that the retailer has participated in the refund process and expects to pass some of the recovered funds back to customers.

The Supreme Court ruling in February has prompted other major retailers like Apple, Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, and General Motors to seek similar rebates on tariff payments. Apple noted that the refunds contributed to a 5% increase in its third-quarter earnings per share. Until recently, Amazon had not disclosed whether it would claim refunds, leading to a federal class-action lawsuit filed by consumers who accused the company of not refunding tariff-related costs to buyers in an effort to appease Trump.

Amazon’s refund was described as “limited” due to its proactive inventory management before tariffs took effect and the fact that it is not the importer of record for most products sold on its platform. A large proportion of goods sold on Amazon come from third-party sellers that had to raise prices in response to tariffs and have individually filed for refunds. These external sellers now represent more than 60% of Amazon’s marketplace sales, complicating how the retailer manages tariff cost reimbursements.

Olsavsky indicated that Amazon has identified scenarios where tariff costs were directly passed on to customers and plans to issue refunds proactively in those cases. For other instances, the company will reinvest the tariff refunds to maintain competitive pricing for shoppers. Amazon has faced past criticism and White House scrutiny for its tariffs-related practices, such as when it considered displaying tariff surcharges online, a move that reportedly elicited a complaint from Jeff Bezos to former President Trump.
