#US to stop collecting #tariffs deemed illegal by #SCOTUS on Tuesday
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it will halt collections of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act [#IEEPA] at 12:01 AM EST on Tuesday, more than three days after the U.S. Supreme Court declared the duties illegal.

#CBP said in a message to shippers on its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) that it will de-activate all #tariff codes associated with Trump's prior #IEEPA related orders as of Tuesday.
The IEEPA tariff collection halt coincides with Trump's imposition of a new, 15% global tariff under a different legal authority to replace the ones struck down by #SCOTUS on Friday.

#CBP gave no reason why it was continuing to collect the #tariffs at ports of entry days after #SCOTUS’ ruling, & its message offered no information about possible #refunds for importers.
The message noted that the collection halt does not affect any other tariffs imposed by #Trump, including those under the Section 232 national security statute & the Section 301 unfair trade practices statute.
@Nonilex Sen. Schumer’s supposed “red line” for… something was when the Trump regimen defied a Supreme Court order. Where are you, Chuck? As if.
The Supreme Court didn't order Trump to stop tariff collections. That's not how the process works.
Standing as an appellate court, SCOTUS affirmed the lower court's judgement so that the lower court can do what it needs to do.
So no, Trump didn't defy the SCOTUS here, and the bureaucracy around collecting tariffs reasonably takes time to process directives to change its practices.
Yes, Trump should have never demanded these tariffs in the first place, but this is pretty normal for how the management changes direction.
