IEEPA Tariff Refund Recovery
Every engagement begins with a free assessment. Fee structure and engagement terms are set forth in a written Engagement Letter — no obligation until you sign.
We review your import history, HTS codes, and entry summaries to calculate your refund exposure. Free. No obligation.
You sign an Engagement Letter setting out the scope and fee terms. We gather documentation from your customs broker and freight forwarder.
We compile entry summaries (CBP Form 7501), commercial invoices, and country-of-origin records into a CBP-ready package. For Phase 3 entries (finally liquidated, portal pending), access at launch is restricted to importers who submitted a valid IOR number to CBP by July 30, 2026 — we prepare the required filing pathway for qualifying importers.
We prepare your complete CAPE filing-ready documentation package. Your refund claim is submitted to CBP by you or your licensed customs broker — we ensure your package is complete, correctly sequenced, and ready for submission.
CBP disburses refunds via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to the importer of record. Our contingency fee is settled per the terms of your Engagement Letter upon disbursement.
Fee structure and engagement terms are discussed during your free assessment and set forth in your Engagement Letter. View engagement types →
End-to-end refund recovery for U.S. importers with meaningful IEEPA tariff exposure. Includes assessment, documentation, filing preparation, and monitoring through CAPE phases.
A standalone import exposure analysis. We calculate your estimated refund across all IEEPA-covered entries, deliver a written report, and provide a filing recommendation. No contingency.
For importers who have filed or intend to file independently. We review your filed or draft claims, validate HTS classifications, and assess whether you've left recovery on the table.
A deep review of previously filed CAPE claims. We identify misclassified entries, overlooked HTS codes, and country-of-origin issues that may allow supplemental filings.
For manufacturers and importers restructuring supply chains to qualify for lower IEEPA rates. We analyze substantial transformation, tariff engineering, and country-of-origin qualification.
Ongoing IEEPA and trade policy monitoring for importers with active supply chains. Includes CAPE phase tracking, Federal Circuit appeals monitoring, and monthly advisory briefings.
Companies importing goods subject to IEEPA tariffs — typically with $500K or more in tariff exposure. We focus on importers with meaningful refund exposure who lack in-house customs expertise to navigate CAPE independently.
Overseas manufacturers who shipped on delivered duty paid (DDP) terms absorbed the IEEPA tariff cost and may have direct refund standing, depending on how the Importer of Record was designated. We assess your eligibility and structure claims accordingly. Consult your licensed customs attorney or customs broker to confirm your IOR designation and CAPE eligibility.
