#CBP said in a message to shippers on its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) that it will de-activate all #tariff codes associated with Trump's prior #IEEPA related orders as of Tuesday.

The IEEPA tariff collection halt coincides with Trump's imposition of a new, 15% global tariff under a different legal authority to replace the ones struck down by #SCOTUS on Friday.

#US to stop collecting #tariffs deemed illegal by #SCOTUS on Tuesday

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it will halt collections of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act [ #IEEPA] at 12:01 AM EST on Tuesday, more than three days after the U.S. Supreme Court declared the duties illegal.

Katyal’s arguments started with a now familiar statement: “Tariffs are taxes,” adding, “Our founders gave that taxing power to Congress alone.”

He went on to say that #Congress knows exactly how to delegate its tariff powers to the executive branch, & every time it has done that it acted “explicitly, always with real limits. #IEEPA looks nothing like those laws.”

#Katyal started off his presentation to the justices by arguing that their decision “comes down to common sense.” He argued that “it’s simply implausible” that when #Congress enacted #IEEPA, it “handed the president the power to overhaul the entire tariff system & the American #economy in the process, allowing him to set & reset tariffs on any & every product from any & every country, at any & all times.”

per NYT, Peter Harrell, a visiting scholar at Georgetown’s Institute for International Economic Law, said that although presidents have steadily broadened the use of #IEEPA over the years, “it was definitely intended to constrain authority.” In return, the #Trump admin is arguing that that change was only intended to add process constraints, not to add substantive constraints, on the president’s actions.

Justice #Jackson raises a key issue: That the emergency #law in question, #IEEPA, was actually passed by #Congress to constrain the president’s authority & reform an earlier law, the Trading With the Enemy Act, or #TWEA, that Nixon had used to issue global #tariffs.

#Trump used the statute to announce tariffs on goods imported into the US from China, Canada & Mexico, saying the levies were a punishment for failing to stop the flow of fentanyl. In April, he again relied on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act [ #IEEPA] when he announced #tariffs on imports from >100 trading partners, saying they were needed to address #trade deficits with the rest of the world.

Many of those #tariffs — including revised rates for countries that have struck agreements with the US or have been targeted by one of Trump's recent #trade letters — are set to snap back into place Friday.

#Trump also invoked #IEEPA as his authority to impose tariffs on #Canada, #Mexico & #China over alleged cross-border threats.

Trump rolled out that policy in early April, but after markets convulsed in response he quickly delayed the higher #tariffs from taking effect.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s concentration of power in the executive branch will lead to further trade friction, more corruption and less predictability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/07/world/future-of-us-economic-policymaking/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #ieepa #donaldtrump #joebiden #tariffs #us #useconomy #usjapanrelations #geoeconomicbriefing
