Supreme Court Abolishes Tariffs, Yet a New 15% Tax Takes Effect

2026-02-23 2 Dailymotion

The U.S. Supreme Court has just invalidated billions in tariffs, leading to significant consequences.

Beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will cease the collection of tariffs deemed illegal. These duties, enforced under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, had brought in over $175 billion to the U.S. Treasury.

However, the situation doesn't end here. Simultaneously as these tariffs are lifted, a new 15% global tariff will commence under a different legal framework.

Will companies get refunds? Why did collections persist for days post-ruling? What implications does this have for the trajectory of U.S. trade policy?

This abrupt change has the potential to transform global trade instantly.
