Tariff Refund Desk

IEEPA tariff refunds

CBP collected these tariffs illegally. Most small importers still have not claimed a dollar.

Send us your entry list. We tell you exactly which entries carry refundable IEEPA duty, how much is likely recoverable, and hand you a filing-ready claim packet. You file it yourself and keep every dollar of the refund.

Where the refund pool stands

The Supreme Court ruled on 20 February 2026 that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs. CBP then built a refund process. Money is moving, but slowly, and mostly to the largest importers.

How it works

Three steps, and the third one is you signing your own claim.

1

You send entry data

An ACE report or your broker's entry summary export covering 2025 and 2026. We will tell you exactly which report to pull.

2

We build the packet

Entry by entry: which lines carried IEEPA duty, the refundable amount, the claim route, and the deadline that applies to each entry.

3

You file

Your packet includes the completed claim summary, the filing steps, and the PSC or protest route where one applies. You or your broker submits it.

What is in a claim packet

Everything needed to submit, nothing you have to assemble yourself.

  • Entry-level schedule: entry number, date, port, HTS line, duty paid
  • Refundable amount per entry, with the arithmetic shown
  • Claim route per entry: CAPE submission, PSC, or protest
  • Deadline calendar per entry, based on entry date and liquidation status
  • ACH and ACE readiness checklist so the refund does not bounce
  • A filed-form template with your figures populated
  • Questions to put to your broker if they filed the entries
  • One call with us to walk the packet before you submit

Flat pricing

Refund recovery firms take 15 to 25 percent. We do not. You keep the whole refund.

Who this is not for

  • Anyone who wants us to file with CBP. We are not a customs broker, so the importer of record submits.
  • Anyone expecting a guaranteed refund. The government has appealed, and approval is CBP's decision.
  • Importers with no 2025 or 2026 IEEPA entries. There is nothing to recover.

Questions importers ask

Why would I pay you if CBP's process is automated?

Because automation still requires someone to identify the right entries, elect the right claim route, meet a deadline that differs per entry, and have ACH and ACE set up correctly. CBP processes what is filed. It does not chase you to file.

What are the deadlines?

Two matter. A post summary correction generally must be filed within 300 days of the entry date or 15 days before liquidation, whichever comes first. Refund claims tied to liquidation generally run to about 180 days after liquidation. Entries liquidate on their own schedule, so the real answer is per entry, which is what the packet gives you.

My broker filed the entries. Do I still get the refund?

The importer of record has standing to claim. If your broker filed as importer of record on your behalf, confirm who is named before filing. The packet includes the questions to ask them.

Is this legal advice?

No. We prepare analysis and filing-ready documents. We are not a law firm and not a licensed customs broker, and we do not represent you before CBP.

What if my refund is denied or the appeal changes things?

You paid for analysis and documents, not for an outcome, and we will tell you honestly if an entry is weak. If the appeal changes the rules, we will tell you what changed.
