The Supreme Court has ruled on the use of IEEPA tariffs — and the trade community immediately started asking the same question:

Now what?

In this episode of Simply Trade, Lalo and Andy break down what the SCOTUS decision really means (and just as importantly, what it does not mean). They walk through the operational, financial, and compliance implications for importers, including refund strategies, protests, PSC filings, and what role the Court of International Trade may still play.

This is not a political conversation — it’s a practical one.

If you’re an importer, broker, trade attorney, or compliance leader trying to understand next steps, this episode gives you the strategic roadmap.

What the Supreme Court actually ruled on regarding IEEPA

What this decision does not affect (Section 232, 301, etc.)

Whether importers should file PSCs, protests, or wait

The role of the Court of International Trade (CIT)

Refund timing and cash flow implications

The possibility of alternative tariff authorities (including Section 122)

Why internal data analysis is critical right now

How compliance programs can prepare for future shifts

For companies that paid duties under IEEPA authority, this decision could mean:

Significant refund opportunities

Strategic filing decisions

Litigation exposure

Executive-level reporting requirements

Reassessment of long-term sourcing strategy

But acting too quickly — or without data — could create unnecessary risk.

Lalo and Andy emphasize that now is the time for:

Data gathering

Executive briefings

Controlled decision-making

Clear documentation

A strong compliance foundation

Don’t assume automatic refunds — process matters.

Evaluate PSC vs. protest options carefully.

Monitor CIT developments closely.

Keep leadership informed with quantified impact analysis.

Use this moment to strengthen your compliance framework.
