COURT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE RULES IEEPA TARIFFS ARE UNLAWFUL-UPDATED

May 29, 2025

Update

As previously advised in our advisory below, CIT has determined that IEEPA does not give the President authority to impose reciprocal or drug/border tariffs.

For clarity note that the CIT directed the U.S. Government to enforce a permanent injunction against the IEEPA tariffs within 10 calendar days of its decision, setting a deadline of June 7, 2025. 聽In response, the government promptly filed an appeal with the US Court of Appeals in the Federal Circuit and submitted a motion requesting a stay of judgment鈥檚 enforcement during the appeal process. 聽If CIT grants the stay, the IEEPA tariffs will likely remain in place until a final ruling is issued. 聽In other words, nothing changes at this time until additional instructions have been provided.

Until JAS receives further information/instructions from CBP, we are required to continue to apply all existing tariffs. 聽

Additionally, it remains uncertain whether importers will be allowed to file claims for refunds on IEEPA tariffs they have already paid. 聽

Note this is a fluid situation that we will continue to monitor.

Previously advised:

The Court of聽International Trade has determined that IEEPA does not give the President authority to impose reciprocal tariffs or drug/border tariffs. The court has ruled that the IEEPA tariffs exceed the authority granted to the President.

Per the judgement issued on May 28, 2025, Executive order 14193 (Canada Drug/Border), Executive order 14194 (Mexico Drug/Border), Executive order 14195 (China Drug/Border), and Executive order 14257 (Reciprocal Tariffs), all modifications and amendments are declared invalid as contrary to law.

The administration has the option to appeal, and it is expected that they will file an appeal. 聽It is also very likely the administration will request a stay pending a decision on the appeal, meaning that the tariffs are probably going to stay for a while longer.
