CIT Strikes Down Section 122 Tariffs: What This Means for Businesses

On the afternoon of May 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued a significant decision invalidating the Trump Administration’s 10% global tariff imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. In State of Oregon et al. v. United States and companion cases, the court granted summary judgment for certain importer plaintiffs and permanently enjoined enforcement of the tariffs as unlawful. The Court found that only importers and not states had standing to challenge this action and limited the relief to those importer plaintiffs in Court. This relief, while precedential, does not apply at this time to anyone not in this court case. In order to benefit, it appears that entities will need to file their own case seeking similar relief.
