Review IEEPA refund scopeWhy it matters
The IEEPA tariffs moved from collection to termination to refunds inside a few months. For an importer the open work is no longer the rate but the status of affected entries and the measures that took their place.
How Traverse frames it
Traverse keeps each IEEPA action tied to the affected entries, the refund mechanics, and the replacement measures on the same line, so the question stays connected to the source records rather than the headline.
Common questions
What import teams usually need to answer.
What happened to the IEEPA tariffs?
On February 20, 2026 the Supreme Court held in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs. The reciprocal and trafficking duties were terminated and Customs stopped collecting them on entries made on or after February 24, 2026.
How do importers recover IEEPA duties already paid?
Refunds run through liquidation and reliquidation of affected entries rather than a single payment. The records to track are the entries that carried IEEPA duties, their liquidation status, and the Customs guidance that governs how refunds are processed.
What replaced the IEEPA tariffs?
Some coverage shifted to other authorities, including the Section 122 balance-of-payments surcharge and existing Section 232 and Section 301 measures. The duty owed on a line now depends on which of those measures still applies, not on IEEPA.
Review checklist
What to check before this becomes repeat review.
- 1Identify which entries carried IEEPA reciprocal or trafficking duties.
- 2Check the liquidation or reliquidation status of those entries.
- 3Confirm the Customs guidance that governs refund processing and timing.
- 4Map which duties still apply to the same HTS line and origin after IEEPA.
- 5Review repeated origin, HTS, and entry terms so refund and replacement status stay tracked together.
