Court narrows Trump tariffs for some, but most duties still apply

A U.S. Court of International Trade ruled the Trump administration’s 10% Section 122 tariff unlawful for a narrow group of plaintiffs but did not repeal the tariffs for most imports; this comes after a Supreme Court decision invalidated IEEPA tariffs and could unlock about $175 billion in refunds for importers, though duties remain in place for now with an average rate around 7.2%. The administration is expected to appeal, and policymakers may lean on Section 301 for future tariffs, while importers should monitor duties and preserve records for potential refunds.
