"We are not addressing whether the President's actions should have been taken as a matter of policy. Nor are we deciding whether IEEPA authorizes any tariffs at all. Rather, the only issue we resolve on appeal is whether the Trafficking Tariffs and Reciprocal Tariffs imposed by the Challenged Executive Orders are authorized by IEEPA. We conclude they are not. Tariffs that Trump imposed on specific goods under different executive orders are not affected by this decision."
"Since taking office, President Donald J. Trump has declared several national emergencies. In response to these declared emergencies, the President has departed from the established tariff schedules and imposed varying tariffs of unlimited duration on imports of nearly all goods from nearly every country with which the United States conducts trade. This appeal concerns Five Executive Orders imposing duties on foreign trading partners to address these emergencies."
President Trump declared several national emergencies related to border security and drug trafficking and imposed broad tariffs beginning April 2. Reciprocal tariffs of 10% were applied to all countries, with higher rates for China (34%), Taiwan (32%), South Korea (25%), and the EU (20%). Tariff amounts, covered goods, and deadlines were repeatedly amended and extended, and trade deals altered applications. Multiple court challenges followed, consolidated in the Court of International Trade, which combined Trafficking and Reciprocal tariff claims and deemed them illegal under IEEPA. Appeals followed and the Supreme Court is the anticipated next forum. Some tariffs tied to separate executive orders on specific goods were not affected.
