Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc. filed a lawsuit against the United States on January 22, 2026, in the U.S. Court of International Trade, challenging the legality of Section 301 tariffs imposed on Chinese-origin goods. The case, Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc. v. United States (Case No. 1:2026cv00814), names both the federal government and the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection as defendants.
The lawsuit is part of a broader wave of litigation involving more than 1,000 U.S. companies contesting tariffs enacted under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Those duties, first imposed during the U.S.–China trade dispute, have significantly increased import costs for manufacturers and distributors that rely on Chinese supply chains.
Rather than seeking immediate relief from the tariffs, Kyocera’s filing is intended to preserve its right to recover duties already paid. The company aims to protect potential refund claims if the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately determines that the tariffs were improperly authorized or enacted. The outcome of the ongoing Section 301 litigation could have major financial implications for U.S. importers, with billions of dollars in tariff payments potentially at stake.
