Overview

• The federal appeals court upheld the Court of International Trade’s ruling that the administration exceeded its authority by using IEEPA to impose broad tariffs.
• The decision covers the reciprocal duties applied to nearly all trading partners and additional surcharges on China, Canada and Mexico.
• The court stayed its judgment until Oct. 14 to allow an appeal, and the president said he will seek Supreme Court review, keeping the tariffs in force for now.
• The en banc panel ruled 7–4, with the majority emphasizing Congress’s constitutional control over tariff policy.
• Tariffs founded on other statutes, such as the steel and aluminum measures, are not affected by the ruling.
