Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government in the U.S. Court of International Trade. The company seeks a full refund plus interest for tariffs paid during the Trump administration. This legal action follows a February 20, 2026, Supreme Court decision declaring tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) unlawful.
Nintendo claims the import tariffs on gaming consoles caused the company substantial financial harm. The gaming giant joins more than 1,000 other companies filing similar refund requests. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported significant challenges in processing the unprecedented volume of claims.
