Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government cannot use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs. This is a significant legal change, but there is no immediate operational impact for importers. Duties under IEEPA must still be paid, and refund questions remain unresolved. IEEPA tariffs will be replaced with a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Tariff Act of 1974.
