IEEPA Tariff Refund Recovery
South Korean exports of electronics, automotive components, and steel products faced IEEPA tariffs. U.S. importers should assess their refund eligibility now.
South Korea is a major U.S. trade partner with particular export strength in consumer electronics (Samsung, LG), automotive components, steel and aluminum products, and chemicals. Despite the existing KORUS free trade agreement, IEEPA executive orders imposed emergency tariffs on certain South Korean goods, generating duty payments that are now subject to the CIT refund order.
Smartphones, displays, home appliances, and semiconductor memory from South Korea's major electronics exporters. High per-unit values mean significant per-entry recovery.
South Korea supplies a significant share of U.S. automotive component imports. Check HTS chapter 87 entries carefully for IEEPA duty exposure.
South Korean steel — flat-rolled, structural, pipe and tube — faced both Section 232 and IEEPA duties. TariffIQ™ isolates the IEEPA component for refund purposes.
The Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement provides preferential tariff treatment for many South Korean goods. However, IEEPA executive orders were imposed as emergency measures that operated independently of existing FTA commitments. Importers who used KORUS preferential rates but also paid IEEPA surcharges should evaluate whether the IEEPA component is separately recoverable — in most cases, it is. Our TariffIQ™ platform handles the KORUS/IEEPA duty decomposition automatically.
U.S. importers paid billions in IEEPA tariffs that a federal court has ordered refunded. Time-sensitive — act before CBP processing windows close.
