Overview

• The 7–4 appellate ruling largely upholds a lower-court decision against broad, country-specific levies announced in April.
• The order is stayed until October 14, keeping the disputed charges in force as the administration prepares a Supreme Court appeal.
• Trump and the Justice Department said they will seek high-court review, with the president stressing that all tariffs remain in effect for now.
• Sector-specific duties based on other statutes, including steel, aluminum and some auto measures, are not disturbed by the decision.
• Businesses and trading partners face uncertainty over existing agreements and potential refund claims if the appellate judgment is ultimately affirmed.
