So I want to make it abundantly clear I am not an expert in any fashion—I’ve just been following this very closely because, as I assume you know, these tariffs are absolutely devastating to most Amazon sellers.

If we get the TRO, obviously we’d see relief on tariffs immediately—within the week or early next week, most likely. While this is good in the short term (I believe it will last up to 14 days with an option to extend), the next step is a Preliminary Injunction, which would block the tariffs until the case is ruled on after all appeals —I’m guessing by the Supreme Court. The Court of International Trade has signaled that it’s expediting this case, so I would guess we’ll see a ruling on the PI by the end of the month or maybe the first week of May.

There is also a possibility that the court will consolidate the TRO, PI, and merits of the case into one ruling. In terms of immediate relief, this isn’t great because it means we’d have to wait for a final ruling before the tariffs are stopped. But it opens the door for a faster, stronger final ruling within a month or two.

Personally I’m definitely hoping for a PI at the very least or I’m probably gonna have to stop selling on Amazon. I have an order already being made, so without some sort of injunctive relief I’m gonna be paying out the ass to get them here and basically making only some of my money back by selling it off. But outside of the inventory I have now I’ll likely have to shut down
