John Deere expects a significant increase in tariff expenses next year. The company received more than $380 million in duty refunds this year, reducing its 2026 tariff bill to $750 million. The equipment manufacturer's guidance signals that tariff relief may be temporary as trade policy uncertainty persists. The company's experience highlights how U.S. businesses have benefited from recent tariff refund programs, though questions remain about whether such relief will extend to consumers.
