What Every Multinational Should Know About 鈥 The New Customs Enforcement Realities (Part I): Managing Rising Bond and Collateral Requirements

The Trump Administration's new tariff initiatives are reshaping the importing environment in ways that extend far beyond the tariff rates themselves. Increased duties are driving higher customs bond requirements, new executive actions are signaling a more aggressive enforcement posture, and importers are facing growing pressure to ensure that their compliance programs can withstand heightened scrutiny.

What Every Multinational Should Know About 鈥 The Government鈥檚 IEEPA Federal Circuit Appeal

For months, the U.S. Government has signaled it would challenge the Court of International Trade鈥檚 (CIT) authority to require refunds of IEEPA tariff payments for 鈥渇inally liquidated鈥 entries (those more than 90 days after liquidation). That challenge has now arrived. In recent CIT filings and in its appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), the Government has argued that the CIT cannot order the return of finally liquidated IEEPA tariff payments, except for plaintiffs that have filed protective actions under 28 U.S.C. 搂 1581(i).

What Every Multinational Should Know About 鈥 The Emerging Battle Over Who Ultimately Keeps IEEPA Tariffs

For much of the past year, the principal focus of the IEEPA tariff litigation has been whether the tariffs were lawful and whether importers would ultimately be entitled to refunds. Following the Supreme Court's February 2026 decision invalidating the tariffs and the subsequent proceedings before the Court of International Trade, those questions have largely been answered. The focus has increasingly shifted from whether refunds should be paid to how those refunds will be processed, administered, and distributed.

For several months, the U.S. government has been signaling an impending challenge of the Court of International Trade鈥檚 (CIT) authority to require refunds of IEEPA tariff payments (i.e., payment refunds for tariffs enacted pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act) for entries liquidated more than 80 days earlier.

Five Compliance Best Practices for 鈥 the Valuation of Imports

Customs valuation is the process of determining the customs value of imported goods for the purpose of assessing duties and taxes. It is essential to get the valuation correct, as in most cases the amount of tariffs due are calculated as a percentage of the declared entered value.
