Small and medium-sized businesses are facing a fresh wave of uncertainty after the Supreme Court's recent tariff decision. Executives at supply chain software firm Netstock suggest the ruling has made planning even more difficult. While the decision eliminated some tariffs, it also introduced the possibility of temporary measures and potential new levies, leading to what Barry Kukkuk, Netstock's co-founder and chief technology officer, termed a "murkier environment." Kukkuk stated, "It's almost like there's more uncertainty now that this ruling has come through than what there was three days ago." He recalled that a year ago was chaotic, but things had settled, allowing businesses to know their position. Now, he feels "it's all back in the air again." This uncertainty complicates already precarious supply chain decisions for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), which constitute 99% of U.S. firms and contribute approximately 44% to the GDP. Many SMBs are still uncertain about whether tariffs paid in recent years might be refunded, and if so, the timeline for such a process.
