Trade Update: CBP Ends Collection of IEEPA Duties Effective February 24, 2026

ACM Logistics & Consulting | Trade & Compliance Update February 23, 2026

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued formal guidance confirming the termination of additional duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

In response to the February 20, 2026 Executive Order titled “Ending Certain Tariff Actions,” CBP has officially discontinued collection of IEEPA-based tariffs effective:

12:00 a.m. Eastern Time on February 24, 2026

This marks a significant shift for importers previously subject to stacked IEEPA duties.

What Has Ended?

IEEPA duties imposed under the following presidential actions are no longer in effect and will not be collected on goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:00 a.m. ET on February 24, 2026:

• Executive Order 14193 – Northern Border Drug Flow Duties

• Executive Order 14194 – Southern Border Duties

• Executive Order 14195 – Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain (PRC) Duties

• Executive Order 14245 – Tariffs on Countries Importing Venezuelan Oil

• Executive Order 14257 – Reciprocal Tariffs Addressing Trade Deficits

• Executive Order 14323 – Duties Related to Brazil

• Executive Order 14329 – Duties Related to the Russian Federation

All amendments and modifications to these orders are included in this termination.

ACE Programming & HTSUS Updates

CBP confirmed that:

• The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) has been updated

• All HTSUS numbers applicable to IEEPA tariffs are now inactive in ACE as of February 24, 2026

Entries filed on or after the effective time should no longer reflect IEEPA tariff calculations.

CBP has stated it will continue issuing guidance to the trade community through CSMS messages as appropriate.

Important: What This Does NOT Affect

The February 20 Executive Order affects IEEPA duties only.

It does not impact:

• Section 232 duties (Trade Expansion Act of 1962)

• Section 301 duties (Trade Act of 1974)

• Any other applicable trade remedies

Importers must continue to account for these duties where applicable.

Temporary Duty Under Section 122

Following the Supreme Court decision ending the IEEPA tariffs, the President issued a proclamation imposing:

A temporary 10% ad valorem duty under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974

Effective 12:01 a.m. ET on February 24, 2026

Duration: 150 days

At this time, the officially implemented rate remains 10%.

Monitoring Potential Developments

There have been public statements suggesting the temporary Section 122 duty could be increased. However, no formal Executive Order, Federal Register publication, or CBP guidance has implemented any change to the 10% rate at this time.

Importers should rely on officially published actions for duty calculations while remaining aware that trade policy developments can evolve quickly. ACM Logistics & Consulting continues to monitor for any formal updates.

Impact on Current Shipments

Entries Filed On or After 12:00 a.m. ET February 24, 2026

• IEEPA duties no longer apply

• ACE should not calculate IEEPA tariff lines

• Entry summaries should reflect removal of IEEPA stacking

Entries Filed Before February 24

• Remain subject to the tariff structure in effect at the time of entry

• Post-entry review may be warranted depending on timing and duty payment status

Given the timing sensitivity of tariff changes, coordination with your customs broker is critical.

What Importers Should Do Now

• Review current and upcoming entries for prior IEEPA exposure

• Confirm ACE calculations reflect updated programming

• Evaluate applicability of the temporary 10% Section 122 duty

• Monitor additional Federal Register notices and CBP CSMS guidance
