All additional IEEPA ad valorem duties under seven listed Executive Orders end for entries on/after Feb. 24, 2026; related HTSUS provisions deactivated in ACE.

The CSMS announces implementation of the February 20, 2026 Executive Order “Ending Certain Tariff Actions,” which terminates the collection of additional ad valorem duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) for a set of previously issued Executive Orders. Specifically, all IEEPA-based duties under EO 14193 (illicit drugs across the northern border), EO 14194 (southern border situation), EO 14195 (synthetic opioid supply chain in the PRC), EO 14245 (tariffs on countries importing Venezuelan oil), EO 14257 (reciprocal tariffs to address trade deficits), EO 14323 (threats by the Government of Brazil), and EO 14329 (threats by the Government of the Russian Federation) are terminated.

Effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time on February 24, 2026, these IEEPA additional duties are no longer in effect and must no longer be collected. In practice, this means that the additional IEEPA duty component on affected products drops to 0% for entries with an entry date (or warehouse withdrawal date) on or after that time. Any underlying MFN, preferential, Section 232, Section 301, ADD/CVD, or other non‑IEEPA duties remain fully applicable and unchanged.

CBP will update ACE so that all HTSUS numbers used to declare these IEEPA tariffs (typically Chapter 99 or other special tariff provisions tied to the listed EOs) will be inactive in ACE as of February 24, 2026. Brokers attempting to file entries using those IEEPA tariff provisions for post‑effective‑date entries should expect ACE rejections and must remove those lines.

For customs brokers and trade compliance teams, the key operational impacts are:

1) Duty calculation: For entries and warehouse withdrawals on or after 12:00 a.m. ET February 24, 2026, do not calculate or collect any IEEPA additional ad valorem duties under the seven listed EOs. Only standard and other applicable trade remedy duties should be assessed.

2) HTS/Chapter 99 usage: Identify all HTSUS and Chapter 99 codes in your systems that were used solely to declare IEEPA duties under these EOs and ensure they are not used for entries with an entry date on or after February 24, 2026. Update internal classification and duty-calculation tables accordingly.

3) Systems and ABI configuration: Coordinate with software providers or internal IT to remove or deactivate these IEEPA tariff provisions from automated rating and entry templates. Ensure ACE mapping is aligned so that filings do not reference inactive codes.

4) Inventory and warehouse planning: For goods in bonded warehouses that were previously subject to IEEPA duties, consider the timing of withdrawals. Withdrawals for consumption on or after February 24, 2026 will not incur IEEPA duties, while earlier withdrawals remain subject to the prior IEEPA rates.

5) Distinguish from other remedies: The EO explicitly does not affect duties imposed under Section 232 or Section 301. Brokers must continue to apply those remedies where applicable, even if the same products were also previously subject to IEEPA duties.

If filing errors occur around the transition date, CBP instructs filers to contact their CBP client representative or the ACE Help Desk.
