US customs agency to stop collecting tariffs deemed illegal by Supreme Court on Tuesday

US customs will halt tariff collections issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, effective 12:01 a.m. EST on Tuesday, following a Supreme Court ruling that the duties were illegal.

The halt comes three days after the high court declared the tariffs unlawful. Agencies are stopping the collection and actions related to the disputed duties.

This marks a formal end to the tariff enforcement tied to the challenged authorities, pending any further legal or legislative developments.
