The future of the IEEPA-based fentanyl-related and reciprocal tariffs remains in limbo as the cases against these tariffs continue their slog through the federal courts. On August 29, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Fed. Circuit”) agreed with the Court of International Trade’s (“CIT”) holding that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose the fentanyl-related and reciprocal tariffs. In its ruling, the Fed. Circuit also affirmed the CIT’s grant of declaratory relief while vacating the CIT’s permanent injunction. The Fed. Circuit stayed its ruling pending an appeal by the government.

The businesses and states challenging the IEEPA tariffs have agreed to this schedule.
