IEEPA Tariffs no Longer Collected on U.S. FTZ Entries – March 6, 2026

Please Note: When evaluating tariff announcements, carefully review each Executive Order, the corresponding Federal Register Notices, and CSMS messages in detail. Consult with your trade attorney or advisor to understand how these measures specifically impact your U.S. FTZ operations.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s February 20, 2026 ruling, and after learning that U.S. FTZs were still being required to report IEEPA tariffs on entry summaries despite the Executive Order directing that collection stop, NAFTZ raised this issue with CBP and other Administration offices and has been working with them to help prevent Type 06 entries from being rejected when those tariffs are not included.

Following those discussions, NAFTZ was informed by Administration officials that, as of 7:00 p.m. Eastern on March 4, CBP had stopped collecting IEEPA tariffs on all U.S. FTZ entry summaries. No formal announcement has been issued by CBP, and NAFTZ has been told that CBP does not intend to issue any notice.

At the same time, NAFTZ has received member reports of entries being rejected and accepted when IEEPA tariffs are not included on Type 06 entry summary filings. We are working to assess those filing patterns and outcomes in order to better understand the intended approach going forward.

NAFTZ has been advised that the decision to stop collecting IEEPA tariffs on U.S. FTZ goods was vetted with the White House, and that it reflects the Administration’s intent to implement this change.

NAFTZ will continue advocating on behalf of the FTZ community to ensure the Supreme Court’s ruling is implemented consistently and that U.S. FTZ operators and users are not required to pay tariffs that have been ruled unlawful.
