The American customs surcharge, suspended in the first instance, may remain in force at least until the examination of the appeal case, scheduled for this summer, according to a judicial decision that is issued on Tuesday in the United States. At the end of May, the International Commercial Court of the United States (ITC) estimated that President Donald Trump had exceeded his powers by imposing an un directed surcharge, emphasizing that it is a prerogative of Congress.
This decision referred to both the specific customs duties imposed in Canada, Mexico and China, and the 10% surcharge imposed on almost all imported products, whatever the origin, in early April.
“Exceptional importance problems”
The virulence challenged by the US government, the decision to invalidate the entry to the application of this surcharge had been suspended less than 24 hours later in the summary procedures. A federal courtyard validated this suspension on Tuesday, which allowed the surcharge to apply until it is coming more.
He also considered that the case must be examined at an accelerated pace since it increases “stakes of exceptional importance.” He plans to listen to the parties on July 31.
Donald Trump has already said that he would confiscate the Supreme Court in case of an unfavorable decision. A coalition of small businesses, at the origin of one of the procedures against customs tasks, had asked that the government’s appeal not be suspensive. Otherwise, according to her, “companies and consumers will suffer irreparable damage” while all appeals are purged.
