This is a status update concerning the IEEPA Tariffs. 

The Supreme Court of the United States has postponed issuing its decision on the legality of the Trump Administration’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Court is currently in recess and is scheduled to reconvene on February 20, 2026. While a ruling could be released as early as that date, no official timeline has been confirmed. The industry continues to closely watch for a court ruling.

Key Legal Developments:

• In December 2025, the Court of International Trade (CIT) clarified that it has the explicit power to order refunds for entries even after they have liquidated, provided the tariffs are found unconstitutional. 
• The Department of Justice (DOJ) has stated it will not oppose court-ordered refunds if the Supreme Court rules against the administration. However, it is still uncertain whether CBP will issue “automatic” refunds to everyone or only to those who have filed active litigation. 
• Industry trade attorneys have varying opinions concerning the required actions to be taken by importers to secure their possible refund eligibility on IEEPA tariffs paid.
