US appeals court pauses ruling against Trump's 10pc global tariff

A US appeals court on Tuesday temporarily paused a lower court ruling against the Trump administration's 10 percent global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act, keeping the tariffs in place for three importers that had won a reprieve from the duties last week. 

• The US trade court ruled against the new tariffs on Friday, but did not widely block their collection
• The Trump administration appealed
• While the ruling is paused, tariffs resume for the two businesses and Washington state, which sued over the tariffs
• US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a short-term administrative stay and is considering a longer pause
• Washington qualified as an importer because it paid tariffs through the University of Washington, a public research institution
• The businesses and Washington state have seven days to oppose a longer pause of the lower court ruling in their favor
• The 10 percent global tariff was imposed in February, after the US Supreme Court struck down most of the tariffs that Trump imposed in 2025
• The 10 percent global tariff is scheduled to expire in July, unless extended by Congress
• The latest global tariffs were imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974
