IEEPA Tariffs Struck Down — Now What?
The Supreme Court ruled. The White House responded the same day. Here's what cross-border operators actually need to know.
The Supreme Court struck down IEEPA-based tariffs on a Friday afternoon — and the administration had a new executive order ready by the end of the day. So what does that mean for your shipments right now?
In this emergency Saturday episode of Decoding Cross-Border Ecommerce, hosts Clint Reid, Founder and CEO of Zonos, and Aaron Bezzant, Zonos' Head of Global Trade Strategy, break down everything that happened in the last 24 hours. From why IEEPA tariffs are still being collected today to what Section 122 means for rates going forward, they cut through the noise so you know exactly what's changed — and what hasn't.
✅ What the Supreme Court ruling actually said (and what it didn't)
✅ Why IEEPA tariffs are still being collected despite the ruling
✅ The transition period: what we're waiting on from CBP
✅ Section 122 explained: the new legal basis for a 10% across-the-board rate
✅ De minimis suspension — still in place, and here's why
✅ What comes next: Sections 232, 301, and 338 as future tools
✅ Practical advice: should you hold shipments right now?
A lot changed yesterday. But a lot stayed the same, too — and knowing the difference matters.
