AI Summary

If you bought an item from an overseas vendor last year, you may have received a tariff refund. FedEx and UPS, which acted as customs brokers for imported packages, received refunds from the U.S. government. The companies have begun passing those refunds back to the customers who originally paid the tariffs. This means a refund could appear in your bank account. The refunds are only available to customers who paid tariffs on their overseas purchases.
