Well, at least it can be used to offset something.

Now companies will get the money back, then what? They will not even reduce prices, probably, so why should we give them the money?

So reading the article, let me get this straight.. The producer is losing money, the importer is losing money, the distributor and retailer had the temerity to not accept losing money and pass on a cost but aren't really making any more money. Due to which you're so upset that the sheer injustice of it all you'd rather see the corrupt government that levied the illegal tariffs to begin with keep the money than accept that the importer might actually come out ahead by happenstance.

Yeah, sure. that's totally more fair.
