B&I Files Amicus Brief for Crutchfield, Challenging Tariff Constitutionality

Category:

On behalf of longtime Brann & Isaacson client, Crutchfield Corporation, Peter J. Brann and David Swetnam-Burland filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Federal Circuit challenging the constitutionality of the worldwide tariffs imposed by President Trump. They argue that not only are large tariffs potentially crippling to internet retailers that necessarily import electronics and other goods, but the gyrations and threatened changes in the tariff rates prevent retailers from engaging in rational business planning where decisions on what and how much to order must be made months in advance.
