WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will stop collecting tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) at 12:01 a.m. EST Tuesday, following a Supreme Court decision declaring the duties unlawful.
CBP notified shippers through its Cargo Systems Messaging Service that it will deactivate all tariff codes tied to President Donald Trump’s prior IEEPA orders. The halt comes several days after the Supreme Court struck down the tariffs.
The IEEPA duties had been generating more than $500 million per day in revenue, according to estimates from Penn Wharton Budget Model economists cited by Reuters. The ruling potentially places about $175 billion in previously collected revenue at risk of refund claims from importers, though CBP has not yet provided guidance on how reimbursements would be processed.
The agency clarified that the suspension applies only to IEEPA-based tariffs. Other trade measures remain in effect, including Section 232 national security tariffs and Section 301 tariffs tied to unfair trade practices.
Shortly after the ruling, Trump announced a new 15% global tariff under a different legal authority, signaling continued use of trade tools despite the court’s decision.
