Two small retailers, one in New York and one in California, have sued the Trump administration over the latest tariff announcements.

The plaintiffs are Burlap and Barrel, a spice retailer in New York, and California watch seller Collective Horology, according to a New York Times report.

The suite was filed in a federal trade court and claims the Trump administration is misusing Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.

On July 24 the Trump administration set new tariffs, averaging about 10% to 12.5%, on over 80 countries.
