As a leading international car shipping company, Direct Express Inc. is committed to providing complete transparency, regulatory updates, and accurate guidance for clients shipping luxury, exotic, classic, and collector vehicles worldwide. Because compliance is central to safe and efficient global transport, we closely monitor all U.S. Customs changes that may affect your vehicle export or import process.
A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling has introduced a major development that international shippers should understand.
Supreme Court Rules IEEPA‑Based Tariffs Unlawful
In a significant decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration violated federal law when it unilaterally imposed tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
What This Means for International Vehicle Shipping Clients
- Tariffs imposed under IEEPA — including those related to Russian oil, fentanyl‑related measures, and reciprocal tariffs — have been deemed unlawfully imposed.
- Tariffs implemented under other statutory authorities, such as Section 232, remain valid and are not affected by this ruling.
- The Supreme Court has not yet provided instructions on how previously paid IEEPA‑related duties will be refunded.
This ruling may influence landed costs, customs clearance timelines, and financial planning for clients involved in vehicle export, vehicle import, and international cargo shipping.
Direct Express Inc. Ensures Full Transparency and Compliance
Direct Express Inc. provides complete transparency for every shipment, including:
- Real‑time updates on U.S. Customs procedures

Our clients rely on us because we combine hands‑on expertise, responsive communication, and strict compliance standards across all international markets.
Recommended Action: Set Up Your ACH Refund Account
Although the refund process for IEEPA‑related duties is still being determined, clients may benefit from preparing early.
We strongly recommend establishing an ACH refund account with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This ensures faster processing if refunds are authorized.
