Shortly after President Trump first began to impose tariffs under purported authority of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) on February 1, 2025, Duane Morris formed a Tariff Mitigation Task Force to assist clients in developing strategies to mitigate their potential tariff exposure. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States (“SCOTUS”) issued its long-awaited decision in Learning Resources, et. al, pursuant to which SCOTUS held that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. Shortly after the issuance of the decision in Learning Resources, et. al, President Trump announced that he plans to impose tariffs of 10 percent on all products imported into the United States pursuant to Section 122 of the Tariff Act of 1974 (“Section 122 Tariffs”). Duane Morris’ Tariff Mitigation Task Force is considering the implications of the SCOTUS Learning Resources, et al. decision and President Trump’s announcement relating to Section 122 Tariffs and plans to issue a detailed Client Alert in the very near future.
Duane Morris' Tariff Mitigation Task Force is a multidisciplinary group of professionals who work with clients in industries heavily impacted by tariffs, including automotive, construction, energy, fashion, retail, consumer products, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, electronics and semiconductors. By constantly monitoring and analyzing the latest actions taken by the administration, and by leveraging the extensive experience of its members, the Tariff Mitigation Task Force provides critical and timely guidance on tariff issues. It also collaborates with clients to develop tariff mitigation strategies that optimize supply chains, minimize disruptions and identify opportunities to maximize client profits through tariff-related cost savings.
