Trump Administration Sued Over 50% Tariffs on Canadian Products by Food Importer, Law Firm Says

12:55 PM EDT, 10/20/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The Trump administration has been sued over the imposition of 50% tariffs on Canadian products by US food importer Gellert Global Group, law firm Liberty Justice Center said Tuesday. The lawsuit accuses the administration of exceeding its statutory authority in using Section 338 to impose the tariffs, which are causing "immediate harm to American businesses, their suppliers and customers," the law firm said. The lawsuit is asking that the court declare the tariffs unlawful, block their collection, and order refunds, with interest, to impacted importers, according to a statement. Non-profit litigation firm Liberty Justice Center filed the lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of Gellert Global in the US Court of International Trade. The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
