Tariffs: USA have to refund hundreds of millions of euros to German corporations
The Supreme Court had overturned Trump's tariff regulations - with consequences also for German companies. Overall, the costs for the USA add up to a two-digit billion amount.
Several German companies listed on the stock exchange have received over €790 million in US tariff refunds. The refunds are related to tariffs introduced by US President Donald Trump that were deemed inadmissible by the Supreme Court in February 2026. DHL received the largest refund of €416 million and plans to pass it on to its customers as soon as possible.
Other companies that benefited from refunds include Siemens Healthineers (€200 million), Sartorius (€26 million), Dräger (€22 million), Puma (€49 million), and Rational (€14 million), among others.
