BACKGROUND	On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not give authority to the President to impose tariffs, as Congress did not delegate this authority to the President. It affirmed the lower court decision vacating the executive orders. While SCOTUS deemed the IEEPA tariffs unconstitutional, the ruling gave no direction or indication on remedy or relief. See Trade Alert 65 for additional information on the Supreme Court ruling.
DETAILS	Following the Supreme Court’s ruling invalidating the tariffs issued under IEEPA, President Trump issued a Proclamation ending the IEEPA tariff actions.   The Order instructed the relevant heads of agencies to begin immediately taking steps to effectuate the order, terminating the below actions and ending the collection of tariffs issued under IEEPA:   • Executive Order 14193: Canada • Executive Order 14194: Mexico • Executive Order 14195: China • Executive Order 14245: Countries importing Venezuelan oil • Executive Order 14257: Reciprocal Tariffs • Executive Order 14323: Brazil • Executive Order 14329: India • Executive Order 14380: Cuba • Executive Order 14382: Iran   The Order contemplates notices being issued in the Federal Register, and may also be the subject of CBP CSMS messages.
