The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled on Thursday in favor of President Donald Trump's 2025 decision to rescind a de minimis exemption for tariffs on some imports of less than $800. This ruling allows the administration to continue collecting tariffs on low-dollar imports after the trade court rejected a challenge to the president’s policies.
The decision is a rare win for the president in the trade court's review of emergency economic powers. The president's agenda has faced a series of legal pushbacks since he imposed sweeping duties on trading partners after returning to the White House last year.
President Trump celebrated the continued closure of the de minimis exemption as a BIG WIN in a Truth Social post. In a social media post, he touted the victory and stated that the provision had become a giant loophole for tariff cheats and others.
