In reply to the discussion: Most Trump tariffs ruled illegal in huge blow to White House trade policy [View all]BumRushDaShow
(159,419 posts)a huge set of databases that would need to be revised (most, if not all contracted out via task order, with a change control process) that importers/brokers use for their product manifests and to calculate the tariffs.
And with so many types and levels of tariffs on literally hundreds if not thousands of products for dozens and dozens of countries, it would be complicated to unwind the tariffs covered in this order (it's apparently not "all", but "most" ), should the SCOTUS actually agree with the "pause".
But for the appeal time, we are talking about 45's justifying the unprecedented use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act as a pretext for imposing the tariffs where there is really no "economic emergency" (and there were already tariffed goods/services before the invocation of that as it is), and instead to use it as a cudgel as "punishment" to impose his will.
So I think it is for both, including giving the "back office" time to plan contingencies - and especially since TACO imposes, revises, and pulls tariffs continually.
