Victor Schwartz, owner of VOS Selections, successfully won a landmark case against the tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump, leading to a significant refund from the U.S. government.

His case is part of a larger group of 330,000 businesses eligible for refunds totaling $168 billion after the Supreme Court ruled against the tariffs. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has begun processing these refunds through a new automated portal.
