The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it will halt collections of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act at 12:01 a.m. EST (0501 GMT) on Tuesday, more than three days after the U.S. Supreme Court declared the duties illegal.
The agency said in a message to shippers, opens new tab on its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) that it will de-activate all tariff codes associated with Donald 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 the Supreme Court on Friday.
Prices will remain unchanged, record profits
And that’s the full plan. It was win/win (for the grifters) all along.
They gonna ignore the new illegal ones as well?
Nope. Gonna take care of one grift at a time here.
A 2am xhitter tweet by a demented president doesn’t actually change their orders. Even a signed executive order signed by the president doesn’t do anything if it’s general. Specific instructions need to be formalized and implemented and the morons in the WH aren’t so good at that - it will take time, and if the try to back date policy they will likely be sued. Meanwhile, companies are shifting product to US warehouses quickly right now. And of course they won’t lower prices to consumers because why would they, especially since the orange moron has said he will add tariffs back as soon as he can.

And when will they start collecting the new tantrum based
1015% tariffs?Almost like there isn’t some emergency.
Oh, good, they took away the toddler-in-chief’s annoying little rattle toy.
Imagine for a moment if you will…
You or I break the law.
For a crime where we get to KEEP DOING IT for 14 months, the entire time they are litigating it.
Then it’s deemed so egregiously illegal by the highest court in the land (of which you’ve appointed 1/3 of).
That they demand you stop, and you…take the weekend to think about it?
Then you just move next door and continue breaking the law in an almost identical fashion.
Now imagine it’s for 175 billion dollars stolen from every American for generations.
Why would no one go to jail for this?
Why aren’t people getting fired, impeached, or removed?
