How a Boutique Wine Distributor Helped Reshape US Trade Policy
"The Liberty Justice Center is proud to have led the fight to challenge these illegal tariffs that devastated small businesses around the country. Federal courts at every level have now recognized that these tariffs, imposed without Congressional authorization, are unlawful and cannot stand."
"I thought the idea of business should be expanding, but it's been contracting. The combined effects of the Trump administration's tariffs and the position of the dollar put his 39-year-old company in an uncertain place."
VOS Selections, a wine and spirits importer, served as the lead plaintiff in Trump v. VOS Selections, a Supreme Court case that ruled the Trump administration's tariff policy unconstitutional. The company, backed by the nonprofit Liberty Justice Center, challenged tariffs imposed without Congressional authorization. Founder Victor Schwartz explained that combined tariff effects and dollar positioning contracted his 39-year-old business when it should have been expanding. The Supreme Court ruled in VOS Selections' favor in late February. Outstanding questions remain regarding refunds for tariffs collected under the now-unconstitutional policy, likely requiring additional litigation.
