IEEPA Tariff Refund Recovery
Your borrowers may have seven-figure IEEPA tariff refund receivables sitting unclaimed. We identify, quantify, and recover them — on contingency.
Commercial lenders with exposure to U.S. importing companies face a two-sided risk. On the downside, IEEPA tariffs eroded working capital and increased cost of goods for borrowers during 2025–2026 — potentially degrading credit quality and collateral coverage. On the upside, the federal court injunction creates a recoverable receivable that many borrowers have not yet identified or disclosed on their borrowing base certificates.
The Tariff Bureau's lender validation service audits your borrower's import history to identify IEEPA refund receivables, quantify their value, and assess their collectibility given the current state of the CBP processing pipeline and appellate proceedings. The analysis is delivered as a formal written report suitable for credit file documentation.
IEEPA refund receivables from the federal government are arguably the highest-quality receivables a borrower can have — sovereign obligor, court-ordered, filed claim.
Our TariffIQ™ reports can be incorporated into field exam documentation and presented to credit committees as third-party recovery analyses.
Lender validation engagements can be structured on contingency tied to the borrower's actual recovery — no cost unless the claim succeeds.
For lenders with large books of commercial borrowers, we offer a portfolio-level screening service. Provide your borrower list with SIC/NAICS codes and general import activity, and TariffIQ™ will flag the highest-probability IEEPA refund candidates for deeper analysis. This service is available on a flat-fee or contingency basis depending on portfolio size.
U.S. importers paid billions in IEEPA tariffs that a federal court has ordered refunded. Time-sensitive — act before CBP processing windows close.
