IEEPA Refund Timeline Heads to Court as PSF Safeguard Review Opens
Today's issue spans five separate compliance files moving through CIT and USITC in the same cycle: a CIT order on IEEPA refund reliquidation, an AD/CVD agency-record motion, a Section 337 procedural amendment, a Section 201 safeguard monitoring investigation, and a pro se procedural dispute. They share no product, country, or enforcement campaign — this is a same-cycle judicial and administrative queue update, not one story.
The U.S. Court of International Trade lifted a stay in Vos Selections Inc. v. United States and ordered CBP to show cause why the suspension of its earlier order — directing CBP to liquidate or reliquidate IEEPA-duty entries without applying those duties — should not be removed, with a hearing set for June 9, 2026. This sits inside the post-ruling refund phase: after the Supreme Court held on February 20, 2026 (6-3) that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, IEEPA duties have not been collected on entries since late February, and the courts have since pressed CBP on reliquidation and refund of duties already paid. Separately, the USITC declined to review an ALJ order adding University Health Network as a co-complainant in a Section 337 medical-imaging-device investigation; instituted a monitoring investigation on the fine denier polyester staple fiber safeguard; and two further CIT filings — a Houston Shutters Rule 56.1 motion and a pro se dismissal-reply dispute — moved on the docket.
CIT Lifts Stay, Orders CBP to Show Cause on IEEPA Reliquidation Compliance
In Vos Selections Inc. v. United States, the U.S. Court of International Trade sua sponte lifted a stay and ordered CBP to show cause why the suspension of its order — requiring CBP to liquidate or reliquidate all entries subject to IEEPA duties without applying those duties — should not be removed. A hearing is set for June 9, 2026.
This is a compliance order inside the IEEPA refund phase. After the Supreme Court held on February 20, 2026 that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, the live question is reliquidation and refund of duties already paid, not collection going forward. The order presses CBP to move suspended entries off the list and reliquidate them without the IEEPA duty; June 9 is the deadline for CBP to defend its timeline.
