Tariffs Still Logged After Court Decision211,000 containers worth $8.2B arrived Friday–Sunday; CBP has not yet removed IEEPA tariff codes from ACE.
- The Supreme Court ruled that the IEEPA "reciprocal" tariffs are illegal, yet U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not removed the corresponding tariff codes from ACE or its Cargo Systems Messaging Service.
- An estimated 211,000 containers valued at about $8.2 billion arrived at U.S. ports between Friday and Sunday, increasing the number of affected import entries.
- Customs currently requires IEEPA codes to obtain cargo release, and importers have up to ten days to pay while entries can be amended up to nine days after release before payment is due.
- Procedures for refunds remain unresolved and will be decided by the U.S. Court of International Trade, with firms warning that high volumes of claims could cause delays lasting months or even years.
This is the first time a tariff has been declared unconstitutional with this amount of money at stake.— Ben Bidwell, senior director for Customs for CH Robinson, commenting on the unprecedented ruling with the large amount of money at stake.
