- Federal Circuit Ruling on Tariff Authority
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has ruled that the President does not have the authority to regulate tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). This follows a similar decision from another court, indicating that the administration may have exceeded its legal authority.
An appeal to the Supreme Court is expected. In the meantime, the Court has allowed the current tariffs to remain in effect until October 14, 2025, pending further review. At this time, there is no additional information regarding potential refunds or future changes. - Suspension of De Minimis Entry Process
The previous process allowing carriers to import goods valued under $800 without a formal Customs Entry has been suspended.
Some entities are now authorized to collect tariffs and duties directly for payment to U.S. Customs, bypassing broker involvement. However, many courier and postal services from various countries are now refusing to ship commercial parcels to the U.S. due to these changes. - Section 301 Tariffs on Chinese Goods
The reciprocal tariff on goods from China under Section 301 will remain at 10% until November 29, 2025.
Please note that all other tariffs—including those under IEEPA, as well as those on metals, automobiles, and auto parts—remain in effect.
