Are IEEPA Tariffs Still in Effect? 2026 Import Tariff Status
The short answer is no for the additional duties imposed under the listed IEEPA orders, but that does not mean an imported product has no additional tariff exposure.

- USTR presidential tariff actions and February 20 statement
- current USITC HTS Chapter 99 schedule
Status reviewed August 22, 2026
- Ended: additional ad valorem duties imposed under the listed IEEPA orders.
- Expired on its stated schedule: the temporary 10% Section 122 surcharge, after July 24, 2026.
- Still requires review: normal duty, Section 301, Section 232, exclusions, and other current Chapter 99 provisions.
What changed on February 20, 2026?
In 607 U.S. 229 (2026), the Supreme Court held that IEEPA did not authorize the tariffs at issue. The same day, the White House issued an order directing agencies to end collection of the additional ad valorem duties imposed under the listed IEEPA executive orders.
The order was deliberately narrow. It said that it did not affect duties imposed under other authorities, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act and Section 301 of the Trade Act. That distinction is the part most likely to be lost in a spreadsheet, supplier quote, or AI answer that simply says either “all tariffs ended” or “the old reciprocal rate still applies.”
What happened to the temporary Section 122 surcharge?
A separate White House proclamation imposed a temporary 10% import surcharge under Section 122, effective February 24, 2026. The proclamation stated that it would continue through 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 24, 2026, unless suspended, modified, or terminated earlier. Section 122 itself limits this route to 150 days unless Congress extends it.
The stated period has therefore ended. This is not a promise that every later entry is free of an additional duty: a later statute, proclamation, product-specific remedy, or Chapter 99 provision may produce a different result. Check the current USTR presidential tariff actions for the planned entry date.
Which tariff layers still matter?
Normal HTS duty
Start with the current US HTS statistical reporting number and its general rate. A supplier's six-digit HS code is not enough to identify the US rate line, and a correct rate from last year may not establish the rate for a later entry.
Section 301 duties on China-origin goods
Section 301 remains separate from IEEPA. In its February 20 statement, USTR said existing Section 301 tariffs on China ranged from 7.5% to 100%, depending on the product. The operational question is whether the final HTS line appears in the current Section 301 scope and whether a valid exclusion matches the actual merchandise.
Section 232 sectoral duties
USTR also stated that existing Section 232 rates ranged from 10% to 50%, depending on the product. Steel, aluminum, copper, automobiles, and other sectoral actions require more than a heading-level keyword match. Scope notes, derivative categories, metal content, origin exceptions, and effective dates can change the answer.
Other current Chapter 99 provisions
Chapter 99 is date-sensitive. A historical line can remain visible in an HTS dataset after its collection authority has ended, while a newer action may use a different legal authority or reporting number. Treat a Chapter 99 row as evidence to investigate, not as proof that the amount is currently payable.
A practical five-step check before broker review
- Describe one product precisely: materials, function, construction, power source, accessories, and intended use.
- Confirm the US HTS path: read headings, legal notes, and relevant CBP rulings rather than copying a supplier code.
- Record origin and entry date: both can change which additional-duty rule is relevant.
- Check each layer separately: normal duty, Section 301, Section 232, exclusions, and other current Chapter 99 provisions.
- Preserve the source trail: save the cited line, note, ruling, action, and review date for a broker or internal reviewer.
Why a product-level check still matters
“China tariff” is not a single percentage. Two products from the same supplier can have different HTS lines, base rates, Section 301 treatment, and Section 232 scope. The most useful second pass is therefore one SKU at a time, with the unresolved facts made visible before anyone relies on the result.
Moya's Section 301 checker and HS-to-HTS review are designed around that sequence: establish a defensible US HTS candidate, then inspect current tariff signals and the questions that still need broker verification.
Frequently asked questions
Are the 2025 IEEPA reciprocal tariffs still being collected?
The February 20, 2026 White House order directed agencies to end collection of the additional ad valorem duties imposed under the listed IEEPA orders. Importers still need to check duties imposed under other authorities.
Did the Supreme Court decision remove Section 301 tariffs on China?
No. USTR stated that the decision addressed the reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs imposed under IEEPA. Section 301 duties imposed under the Trade Act remain a separate product-specific review.
Is the temporary 10 percent Section 122 surcharge still active?
The February 2026 proclamation stated that the surcharge would run from February 24 through July 24, 2026 unless changed earlier. For entries after that date, verify whether a later action created a new applicable duty.
How do I know which additional tariff applies to my product?
Confirm the US HTS code, country of origin, and planned entry date, then review the current Chapter 99 notes, applicable trade-remedy scope, exclusions, and product-specific facts.
