The suit names Trump, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott and their offices as defendants.
The states filed the suit more than a week after two U.S. businesses launched the first legal challenge to the forced-labor tariffs in the Court of International Trade.
Like the states’ lawsuit, the businesses argued that the administration imposed the levies without fully meeting Section 301 requirements.
The businesses filed the lawsuit on July 24, the same day the Section 301 tariffs took effect and Trump’s temporary Section 122 tariffs reached their 150-day expiration date.
Trump imposed the Section 122 levies after the Supreme Court revoked the IEEPA tariffs.
