Hello ,

The landscape of U.S. trade policy has reached a historic turning point. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court’s ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump fundamentally altered the legal framework for executive tariff authority, invalidating billions in duties previously collected under IEEPA.

For global trade professionals, this creates two immediate—and conflicting—priorities:

1. Capital Recovery: An estimated $160 to $175 billion in duties are now subject to potential refund claims. Navigating the protest windows and the Court of International Trade is now a critical financial imperative.
2. The New 15% Surcharge: With the administration’s swift pivot to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, a new 10% (potentially rising to 15%) surcharge is now in effect. Understanding the "Balance of Payments" justification and the strict 150-day window is essential for supply chain stability.
