China's EV giant BYD has sued the U.S. government in the Court of International Trade, arguing that recent tariff orders imposed under emergency powers are unlawful. Filed by four BYD North American units, the case seeks to block the tariffs and recover duties already paid. If successful, the ruling could open a path for BYD to export vehicles to the U.S. with far lower tariffs, potentially accelerating low-cost EV entry.
