The United States will halt the collection of certain tariffs starting February 24 after the Supreme Court ruled them unlawful.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that it will stop collecting tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) beginning at 12:01 a.m. EST (0501 GMT) on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. The move comes more than three days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the duties unlawful.

Customs agency to deactivate tariff codes from February 24 following Supreme Court decision, with no clarity yet on importer refunds

In a notice issued to shippers through its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS), the agency said it will deactivate all tariff codes linked to President Donald Trump’s earlier IEEPA-related orders effective February 24.

The suspension of IEEPA tariff collections aligns with Trump’s introduction of a new 15% global tariff under a separate legal authority, replacing the duties struck down by the Supreme Court on February 20.

CBP did not explain why the tariffs continued to be collected at ports for several days after the court’s decision. The agency also provided no details regarding potential refunds for importers.

However, the notice clarified that the suspension does not impact other tariffs imposed by Trump, including those enacted under Section 232 on national security grounds and Section 301 addressing unfair trade practices.

“CBP will provide additional guidance to the trade community through CSMS messages as appropriate,” the agency said.

According to Reuters, the Supreme Court’s ruling could put more than $175 billion in U.S. Treasury revenue generated through IEEPA tariffs at risk of refunds, citing estimates from Penn-Wharton Budget Model economists. Their analysis suggested that IEEPA-based tariffs had been generating over $500 million per day in gross revenue.
