Jeansland podcast: Are New U.S. Tariffs Even Legal?
21/11/2025
Andrew breaks down what happened when decades of predictable duty rates got wiped out overnight. How it impacted global jeans suppliers, and how a group of small importers challenged the tariffs in court. Their case has now reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where a cast of conservative and liberal justices have mostly voiced scepticism on these measures.
What happens if the Court strikes down the tariffs? Will the government refund importers? What about the consumers who have already paid higher prices? And why are big brands so silent?
This episode traces the legal fight, the political stakes, and what a reversal would mean for everyone caught in the middle.
