This basically means that nations that were paying US tariffs under Trump’s 2025 action—such as Bangladesh, China, India, and others—will no longer have to do so.
Following a Supreme Court ruling that declared such US tariffs to be unlawful, the US Customs and Border Protection agency recently issued an order stating that it will stop collecting cease collecting Trump tariffs taxes imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act beginning on Tuesday.
Three days before to the order, on February 20, an identical message was posted on the White House website.
It stated that starting at 12:00 am EST on February 24, the United States will no longer collect the Trump tariffs.
The US Customs and Border Protection agency issued an order stating that duties imposed in accordance with IEEPA under the following presidential actions, including all modifications and amendments, will no longer be in effect and will not be collected for goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:00 a.m. eastern time on February 24, 2026.
The CBP informed shippers via its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) that as of Tuesday, it will deactivate any tariff codes linked to previous directives issued by President Donald Trump pertaining to the IEEPA.
It stated that other tariffs, such as those imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, are unaffected by the ruling and that it solely applies to charges under IEEPA.
The directive stated that it solely affected IEEPA duties and had no effect on duties imposed under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, or section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended.
This basically means that nations that were paying US tariffs under Trump’s 2025 action—such as Bangladesh, China, India, and others—will no longer have to do so.
More instructions should be given
The Customs and Border Protection Agency added that it will offer more advice as needed.
“As needed, CBP will send out CSMS messages to the trade community with additional guidance,” it stated.
The agency provided an email address and requested that parties submit their inquiries to the office of trade relations.
It stated that “questions about this message should be directed to CBP’s Office of Trade Relations at traderelations@cbp.dhs.gov.”
