Section 122 Import Surcharge Expires July 24 With No Extension Allowed

The Section 122 import surcharge — a temporary tariff imposed February 24, 2026 — expires by operation of law on July 24 at 12:01 a.m. EDT. Section 122 of the Trade Act caps such measures at 150 days and permits no extension. A U.S. Trade Court ruling struck down the tariffs in May 2026, but the surcharge operated until its statutory sunset. Importers must manage entry dates around the cutoff precisely.
