Tariff Update and Refund Outlook

Where Things Stand on Refunds and New Section 122 Tariffs

The tariff landscape continues to shift following the Supreme Court decision, and significant uncertainty remains around refunds and next steps.

Below is a clear summary from Roll & Harris LLP of what importers should know now, including expected timelines, open legal questions, and details on the newly announced Section 122 tariffs.


IEEPA Tariffs Ending / IEEPA Refund Process Remains Unclear / New Tariffs Start on February 24th

Following the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decision on Friday striking down the IEEPA tariffs, U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) announced this evening that consumption entries will no longer be subject to the IEEPA tariffs (e.g., reciprocal tariffs, fentanyl tariffs, Russian oil sanction tariffs, the Brazilian IEEPA tariffs, etc.) starting at 12:00 am EST, February 24, 2026.

However, as of this writing, CBP has still not said anything about refunds of these illegally charged tariffs. Nor has the Department of Justice (DOJ) said anything since Friday about refunds. To be sure, top administration officials, including Trump himself, have stated that refunds will involve the courts and will take years (see here (at minute 25:30) and here), despite the DOJ previously having told the courts that plaintiffs who have paid the tariffs will receive refunds. In sum, much around the refund process remains unclear.

What is clear, however, is that the courts, specifically the Court of International Trade (CIT), will play a role and will eventually order refunds to those who have already filed suit. Of course, refunds will still take time as the government will be afforded an opportunity to respond to each importer's claims, importers will have to file papers requesting judgment in their favor, judgments will have to be entered in favor of importers, and then CBP will have to implement any judgments/orders from the CIT. We anticipate the CIT will want to adopt a streamlined procedure since almost 2,000 importers have already filed suit as of this writing. Even with streamlined procedures, it very well could be late 2026 or beyond before importers actually receive any refund money and the timeline could be even longer if the government appeals/fights over different issues that likely may still arise, including whether interest is owed.

Apart from the lack of clarity around timing, other issues that remain opaque at this juncture are whether the CIT will order full refunds (liquidated and unliquidated entries) or partial refunds (unliquidated entries), whether the government will only issue refunds to those who file suit in the CIT (which is significant given that not every one of the approximately 600,000 U.S. importers will sue - only about 2,000 have sued thus far), whether CBP will adopt an administrative refund process (protests, PSCs, etc) for those who do not file sue (or as an alternative so suing) and what such an administrative process might look like, etc. Given all of this uncertainty, importers are best advised to speak with counsel in order to obtain advice appropriate to their situation.

Turning to new tariffs, President Trump announced, via Presidential Proclamation, new "Section 122" tariffs hours after Friday's Supreme Court decision and indicated that the new tariffs would take effect as of 12:01 am EST on February 24th (so 1 minute after the IEEPA tariffs end). The new "Section 122" tariffs were set in the Proclamation at 10%, although Trump later announced via social media that the 10% rate would be increased to 15%. As of this writing, the social media post has not been implemented via legal text (e.g., new Proclamation, Federal Register notice, etc). We expect the White House will issue an updated Proclamation re the change to 15%, that the International Trade Commission (ITC) will update the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) and that CBP will issue implementing instructions.

The new Section 122 tariffs will be in effect for 150 days. Unlike the IEEPA tariffs, Section 122 specifically grants the President authority to impose tariffs of up to 15% for a maximum period of 150 days. The tariffs can extend beyond 150 days but require Congress to approve them. Whether or not Congress will approve them in what will be the middle of the mid-term election season remains to be seen. We anticipate legal challenges to these new tariffs since Section 122 authorizes the tariffs to address balance of payment issues and many question whether the predicate for the tariffs exists.

During the next 150 days, the Trump Administration also will move to implement new Section 301 and Section 232 tariffs, and possibly other tariffs. Tariffs under these provisions have procedural requirements that the administration must first fulfill so Trump likely used Section 122 to allow him to quickly "substitute in" new tariffs for the now moribund IEEPA tariffs.

Whatever the reason, the new 10% (15% when/if White House updates the Proclamation) Section 122 tariffs apply to all imports into the United States except for goods listed in Paragraph 2 to Annex I to the Presidential Proclamation and except for goods listed in Annex II to the Presidential Proclamation. Goods that are exempt include:

  • certain critical minerals;
  • metals used in currency and bullion;
  • energy and energy products;
  • natural resources and fertilizers that cannot be grown, mined, or otherwise produced in the United States or grown, mined, or otherwise produced in sufficient quantities to meet domestic demand;
  • certain agricultural products, including beef, tomatoes, and oranges;
  • pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients;
  • certain electronics;
  • passenger vehicles, certain light trucks, certain medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, buses, and certain parts of passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, and buses;
  • certain aerospace products;
  • information materials, donations, and accompanied baggage;
  • all articles and parts of articles currently or that later become subject to additional import restrictions imposed pursuant to section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862) (section 232);
  • articles that are entered free of duty as a good of Canada or Mexico under the terms of general note 11 to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), including any treatment set forth in subchapter XXIII of chapter 98 and subchapter XXII of chapter 99 of the HTSUS, as related to the Agreement between the United States of America, United Mexican States, and Canada; and
  • textile and apparel articles that are entered free of duty as a good of Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, or Nicaragua under the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement.

Goods that (i) were loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit prior to entry into the United States, before 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on February 24, 2026; and (ii) are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time, February 28, 2026 are also exempt.

As with the IEEPA tariffs, the Section 122 tariffs are IN ADDITION to any other tariffs that apply (e.g., regular duties, antidumping/countervailing duties, Section 301 duties, etc.). Note that for goods subject to Section 232 tariffs, the Section 122 tariffs are not in addition to the Section 232 tariffs except to the extent the Section 232 tariffs only applied to part of the value of an imported article. Use of foreign trade zones (FTZs) requires goods subject to the Section 122 tariffs to be entered in "privileged foreign status" (unless eligibile for admission in "domestic status").

Supreme Court Strikes IEEPA Tariffs; New 10% Section 122 Tariff Takes Effect Feb 24

IEEPA Tariffs Ended, 10% Global Tariff Imposed Under Section 122*

Below is a summary of the latest trade developments and what they mean for your business, prepared by Accelerate Strategies.


  • The White House has issued an Executive Order that officially ends all IEEPA tariffs (see a list of all IEEPA actions in the chart below).
    • TIMING: The official timing remains unclear - CBP issued a CSMS message that says "CBP is working with other government agencies to fully examine the implications of the SCOTUS decision. CBP will provide additional information and technical guidance for ACE filers as soon as it becomes available."
    • REFUNDS: We still don't know what the process will be for companies to obtain refunds. At least one bill has already been introduced in Congress by Reps Steven Horsford (D-NV) and Janelle Bynum (D-OR) to require the administration to refund all tariff revenue to businesses within 90 days. You can read the bill here.
  • The White House also issued an Executive Order clarifying that the ban on the use of Section 321 entry / de minimis is still in effect.
  • OFFICIALLY: President Trump has imposed a 10% global tariff under Section 122*. The Proclamation is here and the Fact Sheet is here.
    • The 10% tariff goes into effect at 12:01am EDT on February 24 and expires at 12:01am EDT on July 24.
    • These tariffs will not apply to products subject to Section 232 tariffs or to products listed in Annex I or Annex II.
    • Note that Annex I includes a carve-out for imports that qualify for preferential duty treatment under the USMCA.
  • UNOFFICIALLY: President Trump pushed out a Truth Social post announcing that he would increase the Section 122 tariffs from 10% to 15%. You can read the Truth here. We haven't seen any official paper on this.
  • USTR issued a statement saying that in addition to the Section 122 tariffs, the Trump Administration will take the following actions "in short order":
    • Initiate several investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974
    • Continue ongoing Section 301 investigations, including those involving Brazil and China.
    • Maintain tariffs currently imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1963 and conclude ongoing investigations.

*Recall that Section 122 empowers the president to unilaterally address "large and serious" balance-of-payments deficits via import surcharges of up to 15 percent and/or import quotas for up to 150 days unless extended by an act of Congress. To date, Section 122 has not been invoked by any previous President to impose tariffs.

Further Updates on IEEPA Tariffs Strike Down

Please see the following notice from Sidley Austin LLP regarding the strike down of IEEPA tariffs.


Supreme Court Strikes Down the Use of IEEPA to Impose Tariffs

Further to the below, we wanted to provide our updated thoughts on today’s Supreme Court decision and what companies should be thinking about going forward.

First, the Supreme Court decision affirmed the Federal Circuit decision, which had affirmed, in part, the Court of International Trade decision. The judgment entered by the CIT declared that the IEEPA tariffs are “invalid as contrary to law[.]” The Supreme Court did not attempt to limit its decision by only applying it prospectively. As a result, we believe that the decisions create a refund opportunity for importers.

Second, we do not know how the refund process will work just yet. We are willing to bet, however, that it will not be automatic or immediate. Instead, we still believe that our “belt and suspenders” approach makes the most sense. Importers should be gathering the information necessary to pursue refunds through the existing U.S. Customs and Border Protection administrative process (e.g., downloading import reports from ACE) and be filing protests on liquidated entries. We expect that CBP will be issuing its views on how importers should proceed (e.g., we expect CBP to discourage importers from filing post-summary corrections). Importers should also consider whether filing your own court case at the CIT makes sense. While the benefits afforded by having your own case on file may be less than they were now that the Supreme Court has issued its decision (due to the CIT’s jurisdictional limitations), it may still worth pursuing for many importers. We would be happy to discuss these issues with you further.

Third, we do not expect that tariffs are going away. Stated differently, while the Supreme Court has struck down the use of IEEPA to impose tariffs, there are other statutes available to the President. Accordingly, we expect that the administration will impose tariffs at comparable levels under other statutes as early as today. We are not expecting any gap.

Fourth, we do not believe that the Supreme Court’s decision will have any impact on the trade agreements the administration has negotiated with other countries. Again, we expect that other countries recognize that there are other statutes the Trump administration can use to impose comparable tariffs and will not be willing to upset the deals that have been negotiated.

Finally, companies need to be considering the commercial implications of today’s ruling. Companies that have raised prices or passed on tariff surcharges to customers will need to explain how any tariff refunds will be shared; similarly, companies that paid increased prices or tariff surcharges to suppliers will want to know when/how its suppliers intend to share the refunds. We have helped many clients develop talking points to help control the narrative around these issues (rather than try to respond to a flood of individual inquiries).

US Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Global Tariffs

Please see the following article from Reuters regarding the US Supreme Court rejecting Trump's global tariffs, and this supporting summary from Roll & Harris LLP.

SCOTUS Rules Trump IEEPA Tariffs Illegal

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled today that the fentanyl tariffs that President Trump imposed last February and the reciprocal tariffs that he imposed last April are illegal. We will issue a more detailed update over the weekend, including next steps for importers to take, but the key next step will be to watch what position the US Department of Justice and US Customs & Border Protection will take regarding next steps.

Naturally, there also will be questions around how soon can importers stop paying the tariffs (e.g., can an importer stop paying on entries filed today), how will DOJ and CBP manage (and whether they will issue) refunds on entries that have already been filed and, in some instances, liquidated, as well as how soon will President Trump post something on this Truth Social account about new tariffs and how soon they might start. There also will be questions around the effect of today's decision on the existing "deals" that the Administration struck with other countries. Put more simply, there are still a lot of unanswered questions that need to be worked through.

As noted above, a more detailed update will be sent out over the weekend after we finish digesting the 170 page opinion.

The information provided in this notice is not legal advice. Importers are reminded to consult with customs counsel to determine how all of these tariffs apply to their specific situation.

Additional Information on Electronic Refunds

CSMS # 67648307

Updated Procedures to Add Notify Parties (CBP Form 4811)

This message updates guidance issued in CSMS 62234804.

On February 6, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will transition to electronic refunds in accordance with Executive Order 14247. To prepare for the transition, CBP has updated the CBP Form 4811, Special Address Notification (12/25), which is used to authorize notify parties.

Effective February 6, 2026, refunds directed to a notify party will be electronically deposited in the notify party’s bank account, as announced in an Interim Final Rule that was published in the Federal Register on January 2, 2026, and became effective on February 6, 2026 (see Electronic Refunds, 91 FR 21).

The updated form may be found on the Forms page of the CBP website by searching for the form number. Effective February 6, 2026, Trade may no longer submit previous versions of the CBP Form 4811 to CBP, as they are no longer accepted. The forms submitted must have the updated date (12/25) in the bottom left corner.

To add or modify a notify party, Trade may use one of the following methods:

  • Email the CBP Form 4811 to their assigned Center of Excellence and Expertise (Center), or
  • Use the new “Add Notify Party” feature in the Notify Parties tab, available in the Importer sub-account view of the Trade user’s ACE Portal account.

To revoke notify party information, trade users must contact their assigned Center. If an importer does not have a Center assignment, they must contact the Center that most closely aligns with the tariff number of the importer’s highest valued commodity.

Importers may have multiple notify parties on file in their ACE profile. Refunds are directed to a notify party if two conditions are met: 1) the notify party is on file in the importer’s ACE profile, and 2) the notify party’s importer of record (IR) number is listed in box 28 “Reference Number” of the CBP Form 7501 or its electronic equivalent.

For more information, please see:
