US importers may rush to bring in Chinese goods after the Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump from using emergency powers to justify sweeping global tariffs, analysts said.
The ruling limits Trump’s ability to impose higher duties under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Companies are now weighing whether to front-load imports while current tariff rates remain lower and before Congress acts on a proposed increase from 10 percent to 15 percent.

Analysts say the surge is likely to be modest compared with last year’s heavy stockpiling ahead of Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs. Some firms view the uncertainty as a reason to shift supply chains back to the United States.
Economists also note that a planned meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping later this month could extend the existing trade truce, reducing urgency to stockpile.
If tariffs rise again under a different legal authority, analysts warn importers may have little time to respond.
