據(jù)新加坡《聯(lián)合早報》網(wǎng)站2月10日報道，中國電動汽車巨頭比亞迪已加入一眾企業(yè)行列，要求美國退還加征的關稅。

China's BYD Co, one of the world's biggest manufacturers of electric vehicles, has joined hundreds of companies in pushing to be refunded for duties they've paid under US President Donald Trump's import tariffs.

多家媒體的報道顯示，美國國際貿(mào)易法院披露，比亞迪的美國子公司于1月26日提起訴訟，指控美國政府關稅政策不合法，要求退還稅款。

The company's American units filed a lawsuit in the US Court of International Trade on Jan 26, arguing that a suite of executive orders that underpin the tariffs are invalid, making the collection of the duties unlawful, according to the filing.

比亞迪方面在訴訟中稱，該公司在美國設計和生產(chǎn)電動巴士和卡車，為維持業(yè)務運營，已為進口材料支付巨額關稅。

BYD, which designs and manufactures electric buses and trucks in the US, said in the lawsuit that it has paid and continues to pay "significant" duties on materials it imports to sustain its American operations.

美國最高法院正在審理特朗普關稅措施的合法性問題。眾多企業(yè)均趕在關稅清算之前提起相關訴訟，以免喪失退還稅款的資格。

比亞迪的美國子公司在訴狀中指出，由于無法確保在沒有自身案件判決和司法救濟的情況下獲得退款，因此決定單獨起訴。

A US Supreme Court decision on the legality of Trump's signature levies is pending. BYD's units said they've brought their lawsuit as they're not assured of a refund in the absence of their own judgment and judicial relief.

目前已有超過1000家企業(yè)實體提起類似訴訟，包括開市客、固特異輪胎、豐田、川崎重工等。

Already more than 1,000 corporate entities, including household names like Costco Wholesale Corp and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, are suing for refunds for their share of the billions of dollars in tariffs that the US has collected so far.
