Posted by Timothy Miller on 3/4/26 5:00 PM

In an order filed on March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade (CIT) directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate all unliquidated entries subject to International Emergency Economic Powers Act IEEPA tariffs “without regard to the IEEPA duties.” In addition, “any liquidated entries for which liquidation is not final shall be reliquidated without regard to IEEPA duties.”

The order contained no timeline or process for these refunds.
