IEEPA Tariff Refund Recovery
If you shipped DDP to U.S. buyers and embedded IEEPA duties in your pricing, the refund injunction creates a recovery opportunity — or a pricing reallocation.
Under a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) arrangement, the foreign manufacturer or exporter agrees to deliver goods to the U.S. buyer with all import duties paid. When IEEPA tariffs were imposed, DDP sellers either absorbed those costs directly or embedded them in higher prices — in either case, economic value was transferred to the U.S. government that a court has now ordered refunded.
Technically, the refund right belongs to the U.S. importer of record — the entity that paid the duty to CBP. In many DDP arrangements, the foreign manufacturer used a customs broker or freight forwarder as the importer of record, creating a chain of indemnification. Recovering the refund requires identifying the importer of record, establishing the duty payment, and ensuring the proceeds flow back to the economic party who bore the cost.
If your DDP contract included a tariff pass-through clause, you may have a direct contractual right to the refund proceeds from your U.S. buyer or customs broker.
Even without a formal claim, the injunction supports renegotiating prospective pricing with U.S. buyers who previously demanded DDP terms as a duty hedge.
If you were listed as importer of record on your U.S. entries, you have a direct CBP refund claim and should file immediately.
The Tariff Bureau works with DDP manufacturers from China, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, India, the European Union, and other affected export markets. Our engagement process is fully remote — no U.S. office required. All documentation can be submitted electronically and all communications are available in English, Mandarin, and other languages through our Weglot-powered translation layer.
U.S. importers paid billions in IEEPA tariffs that a federal court has ordered refunded. Time-sensitive — act before CBP processing windows close.
