The Supreme Court ruling on tariffs was significant, but it did not erase every tariff that is currently in place.
The Court ruled that IEEPA did not give the President authority to impose tariffs under that law. That affected the tariffs that relied on IEEPA, including the broad reciprocal and fentanyl-related tariffs challenged in the case.
But other tariffs were created under different laws and authorities, and those did not automatically disappear with this ruling.
For example, Section 301 tariffs on many Chinese imports and Section 232 tariffs on certain sectors remain in place under separate legal authority. USTR has confirmed that those tariff programs continue.
So when you hear that โTrumpโs tariffs were struck down,โ the more accurate answer is, "Some were, but not all of them."
That distinction matters if you are a business owner, importer, or consumer trying to understand what may still affect prices and costs.
