Following the Supreme Court ruling on February 20, 2026, President Trump issued an Executive Order “Ending Certain Tariff Actions.” U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) subsequently issued CSMS # 67823350 - Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) Judgment - International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) Tariffs confirming that additional guidance would be provided. This was followed by CSMS # 67834313 - Ending Collection of International Emergency Economic Powers Act Duties, on February 22. That same day, the White House issued a Proclamation and Fact Sheet authorizing new Section 122 tariffs (Trade Act of 1974) of up to 10% on all goods, for a period of 150 days, excluding certain items listed in Annex I and Annex II.

On February 23, CBP issued:

• CSMS # 67844987 - Imposing Temporary Section 122 Duties
• CSMS # 67845486 - Continuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries
