New! On February 20, 2026, in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Subsequently, an Executive Order was issued terminating all tariff actions under IEEPA.
This Trade Report article has more details on the decision, and our February 26 webinar will break down the ruling in detail.
Effective Dates
Per the CSMS issued February 22, 2026, IEEPA tariffs will no longer be in effect and will no longer be collected for goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:00 a.m. eastern time on February 24, 2026.
Importers should consider options carefully regarding the timing of their entry filings. For questions about your specific situation, please contact us at tariffs@strtrade.com.
Refunds
The case will now return to the Court of International Trade, which will have to decide the appropriate remedy, including whether and how refunds should be processed.
It is critical for importers affected by any of the IEEPA tariffs to monitor the liquidation of entries on which such tariffs were paid so that protests may be timely filed. ST&R has years of experience helping importers file protests to preserve and protect their rights to refunds if the tariffs are ultimately ruled unlawful.

History of these IEEPA Tariffs
President Trump imposed IEEPA tariffs on India due to its imports of Russian oil in August 2025, and on various countries that provide oil to Cuba in January 2026.
