"The costs to import product have skyrocketed."
A 5-employee business says tariffs raised costs from both imported goods and U.S. suppliers that rely on imported materials. After paying $60,000+ in tariffs, sales dropped sharply.

American-made isn't tariff-proof.

The tariff refund process isn't even finished.
Now, new tariffs are being considered.
Where does this leave small businesses?

[WePayTheTariffs @WePayTheTariffs]

For some small businesses, tariff refunds remain out of reach.
A Michigan report shows how filing requirements and timing rules could leave many companies waiting, even as refunds begin moving through the system.

The biggest concern we're hearing right now isn't about past tariffs. It's about the possibility of new ones.

One small business told us that without knowing what tariff rates could take effect in July, they can't plan purchases, pricing, or inventory decisions.

"We will have no more hope."
One business owner told us they held the line on prices and absorbed tariff costs because they believed the IEEPA tariffs would be overturned.

Now they're watching new tariff proposals threaten to pull them apart.

[WePayTheTariffs @WePayTheTariffs]

Small businesses have barely started receiving tariff refunds, and new tariffs are already being proposed on roughly 60 trading partners.
Many businesses haven't recovered from the last round of costs and may soon face another.

@FT @AsiaLens Hundreds of millions in extra tariffs on imports directly into Maine (plus lots more on imports into other states bought by Maine families). https://t.co/esdTxdQmCI

[WePayTheTariffs @WePayTheTariffs]

Small business owner Sarah Wells received a $10,000 refund from the government.

Her refund covers 20% of the tariffs she imposed under IEEPA, and she's still waiting on $10,000 more.

Businesses deserve full refunds and permanent relief.

Rhode Island businesses paid $1.2B in tariffs in less than a year.

Refunds are beginning, but the process is still uneven.

Small businesses fall apart with uncertainty. They cannot survive another round of tariffs.

[WePayTheTariffs @WePayTheTariffs]

Owners of a Maryland clothing company welcome the tariff relief program but worry the refund won’t make up the $32,000 they’ve already paid.

Higher production costs due to tariffs mean less inventory, and lost sales aren't factored into refunds.

[WePayTheTariffs @WePayTheTariffs]

Kentucky businesses paid $5.6B in tariffs in less than a year.

Refunds are moving, but many companies are still waiting, and eligibility is limited.

New tariffs are emerging, and Kentucky small businesses cannot afford another round.

“…Millions of Americans and businesses deserve every penny back.”

State officials demand transparency as the Trump administration refunds billions in international tariffs.

Small businesses pay high prices. They shouldn't be overlooked.

Tariffs are taxes. No President should be able to impose hundreds of billions in permanent new taxes without a vote of Congress.

Refunds can't undo all the damage from illegal tariffs. Canceled orders. Layoffs. Pay cuts. High-interest loans.

We need permanent tariff relief, not just refunds for what's already been paid.

Refunds are starting to flow, but the biggest tariff fight is still ahead.

Section 301 and 232 tariffs are next. Once they take effect, history shows they rarely come off.

Conversations about ambition and growth mean little if small businesses are forced to operate under constant uncertainty, while policymakers continue discussing new tariffs that could restart the cycle all over again.

New tariffs are still threatening small businesses and the damage is already real.
A 13-person company has paid $759,293 in extra tariffs: "The owner has had to drain his IRA to bring cash into the company."

How much more can they absorb?
