What this means

Goods entered under 9903.02.79 carried this IEEPA surcharge during the window above. Because the Supreme Court struck the IEEPA tariffs down in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump and EO 14389 ended collection on Feb 20, 2026, duty paid under this code is part of the refund pool. The code remains published in the HTS until USITC removes it — a listed code is not the same as a live duty.
