I don't think it impacts it at all since it was always an executive branch (presidential) policy that prevented tariffs on goods under $800 to begin with. Trump is the one who got rid of that policy so I can't imagine he'd suddenly reestablish it.

Also the previous tariff on Japan was 15%, and Trump immediately imposed a new 10% tariff on every country after the court eliminated all of his previous ones. So as far as I can tell our shipping costs from Japanese retailers are going to be almost exactly the same as they have been in recent months. I hope I'm overlooking something though and they suddenly go away, but I'm not expecting that to happen.

What could change things is if he gets sued over the new 10% tariffs. He's only supposed to do that in emergency situations...so what, exactly, is the emergency? There isn't one so my guess is he'll get sued over the new tariff, and I'll be surprised if he doesn't lose that case due to not being able to establish that there actually is an emergency.

It looks like IEEPA was actually the authority that was being cited to end/suspend the de minimis exemption immediately - they included de minimis in the new tariff executive order yesterday that they were continuing the suspension despite the ruling according to this article. It's not clear to me if they're just pretending the ruling just doesn't impact that part, or if they're citing a new/different authority to suspend it.

Either way, don't worry everyone - we still get to continue to pay higher prices!
