US Customs halts collection of IEEPA tariffs and deactivates tariff codes
Importers must stop using IEEPA tariff codes from Feb 24, 2026
Change
US Customs and Border Protection halted collection of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and deactivated associated tariff codes effective February 24, 2026.
Why it matters
The deactivation removes IEEPA tariff classifications from customs processing, requiring importers to refile entries under alternative tariff regimes. Refund procedures for previously collected duties remain undefined.
Implications
- — Importers must update customs filings to remove IEEPA codes — incorrect entries risk rejection or penalties
- — Trade compliance teams must track refund eligibility — lack of guidance delays recovery of paid duties
