US Supreme Court Ruling on IEEPA Tariffs.

On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the emergency tariffs imposed in 2025. The ruling did not address refunds.

Following guidance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), UPS will stop collecting IEEPA tariffs for US imports entered at or after 12:00am EST on February 24, 2026.

All other tariffs on US imports charged by and paid to the U.S. government, including Sec. 122, 232 and 301 tariffs, are not affected by this ruling.

As required, UPS will follow instruction from CBP and other relevant government authorities on the collection of any new tariffs.

We remain committed to helping our customers navigate changes to trade policies, while complying with all government regulations. For the latest information, please visit ups.com.
