U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it will stop collecting tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) starting at 12:01 a.m. EST (05:01 GMT) on Tuesday, more than three days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the measures illegal.
In a notice sent to shipping companies through its Shipping Systems Message Service, CBP said it will discontinue all tariff codes linked to President Donald Trump’s earlier orders issued under the IEEPA, with the suspension taking effect immediately on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
The move comes as the Trump administration replaces the invalidated emergency tariffs with a new set of global levies. Over the weekend, Trump announced a fresh 15% tariff on imports from all countries under a different legal authority, following Friday’s Supreme Court decision striking down his previous tariff regime.
CBP did not explain why it continued collecting the IEEPA-related tariffs at ports of entry in the days after the court ruling. The agency also provided no clarification on whether importers will be eligible for refunds on duties already paid under the now-invalidated measures, leaving businesses facing continued uncertainty.
In its message, CBP stressed that the suspension applies only to tariffs imposed under the IEEPA. Other duties introduced by the Trump administration remain in force, including tariffs imposed under Section 232 of the National Security Act and Section 301 of the Unfair Trade Practices Act.
“U.S. Customs and Border Protection will provide additional guidance to the business community through its Shipping Systems Message Service as appropriate,” the agency said, signaling that further updates on implementation and compliance could follow.
The delayed halt in collections, combined with the rollout of new tariffs, adds another layer of complexity for importers already navigating a volatile and rapidly shifting U.S. trade policy landscape.
