This week on Simply Trade, hosts Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles dive into the recent Supreme Court hearings on IEEPA tariffs. What are the implications for trade compliance, importers, and exporters? Can tariffs truly be challenged, and what does that mean for revenue collection and the midterm elections?

Guests Lila Landis (JAS Worldwide) and Jason Kenner (Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg) provide expert insights on the legal arguments, practical impacts on compliance teams, and the political and economic consequences of the Court’s decision. They break down how emergency tariffs have been applied, the challenges of refunds, and what importers should expect moving forward.

Whether you’re a customs professional or a policy observer, this episode offers a clear and practical view of the rapidly evolving tariff landscape.

⚖️ The legal debate over IEEPA authority and presidential power to impose tariffs

“Even if IEEPA tariffs are struck down, it doesn’t mean tariffs go away — the administration has multiple other avenues.” — Lila Landis

“Customs knows who paid what, so refunds are feasible; the real question is when they will actually be issued.” — Lila Landis

“The importers had the better argument — both legally and in optics — because these tariffs have created real harms and volatility.” — Jason Kenner

“Trade compliance professionals must manage expectations within their organizations — the process will not be instant even if the Supreme Court rules against IEEPA.” — Lila Landis
