What happens if the IEEPA tariffs are struck down, effective tariff rate-wise?

I’ve used 1/10 of the Tax Foundation’s $2 trillion estimate to guess at the reduction of IEEPA tariff revenues. This is an approximation, with out-years likely having more tariff revenue due to trending imports, while more comes in early because pre-substitution timing; I’m assuming the effects offset each other.
Of course, Mr. Trump could then try to use Section 201 or other authority to impose tariffs (see here for list), although some of those alternatives would require time to implement.
