IEEPA Tariff Refund Recovery
Identifying the right IEEPA-specific HTS codes is the first step in recovering tariff refunds. Here's how to read your entries.
IEEPA tariffs were collected under Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, using special purpose codes in the 9903.01.xx and 9903.02.xx ranges. These codes do not describe the physical goods — they describe the tariff measure applied to the goods. They appear as secondary HTS codes on your CBP Form 7501 alongside your primary 10-digit classification.
| HTS Code Range | Applies To | Tariff Rate | CAPE Eligible |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9903.01.10–9903.01.99 | General IEEPA goods from all countries | Varies by annex | Yes |
| 9903.02.10–9903.02.99 | Country-specific IEEPA surcharges | Varies by country | Yes |
Your specific 8-digit sub-code within these ranges depends on the country of origin and product category. Check your CBP Form 7501 column 27 or 28.
