U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued CSMS #67844987, providing operational guidance implementing the Administration’s temporary global tariff action under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, following the President’s February 20, 2026 Proclamation.

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.

President Trump signed an Executive Order that effectively ends the duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for low-value shipments from all countries, effective August 29. For these imported goods, formal entry and payment of all applicable duties and fees will soon be required.

On June 16, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to implement the U.S.–U.K. Economic Prosperity Deal.
