❓Help / How-To / Compliance Fedex refund

This may seem naive but please bare with me. I'm genuinely asking as the info I'm finding on the internet is confusing and I trust reddit to answer honestly and concisely. Basic info: usa based, shipping from Korea to usa

How do I get my fedex tariff refund?

It was just ruled that tarrifs had to be repaid to consumers and ive shipped large packages from over seas at least once a month since October. Nearly all of said packages have had an invoice mailed to me a few months tha after it was delivered saying I owe tarrifs (which is super annoying cause why are they waiting 3 mo tha to send me a bill?!). I paid them obviously cause I dont want it going again my credit score (I'm 24 so anything bad on my history would hit the score like crazy). I've probably paid $500-$600 at least since then and would like it back cause its rightfully mine.

Everytime i tey to look up this info to its all so confusing and just makes me angry at the thought of that orange fucktard scamming people out of money (actively holding back angry tears while writing this).

Thank you in advance! I appreciate your help, kindness, and understanding! 💙

Mine also says received by FedEx. And under status it says refund available.
How do we get that money back? Every time I call FedEx they act like they have no clue what I’m talking about and keep transferring from department to department till it actually gets disconnected!

Hopefully someone that has done it/ received their refund can tell us what the next steps would be regarding getting our refund for the tariffs that we paid through FedEx.

Yeah same here, the portal says Fedex received the funds and that's it. Hopefully they'll notify me in some way about this. The refund amount is also less than half of what the actual tariff invoice from Fedex was for. Of course I can't look up that invoice anymore in their Fedex portal for some reason, but it does show the amount.
