Overview
- Weyco Group filed a December 1, 2025 complaint in the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging tariffs imposed under IEEPA as beyond presidential authority and seeking refunds with interest.
- Court records show the case is stayed while parties await guidance following Supreme Court rulings that limited the administration’s use of IEEPA for trade measures.
- The lawsuit names the United States, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Department of Commerce, and President Trump in his official capacity.
- CEO Thomas Florsheim says the company paid tariffs as high as 145% on shoes imported from China and shifted some production to India, with refund timing still uncertain.
- The dispute has drawn unusual attention because Trump has been reported to wear and gift Florsheim shoes, as importers and two dozen states pursue related challenges to the tariff program.
