A Tariff Consultant Focused Entirely on IEEPA Duty Refund Recovery
The Tariff Bureau is a specialized tariff consulting firm built around one mandate: recovering IEEPA-related duties you've already paid. No hourly billing for a general trade-compliance retainer — a contingency-based recovery engagement built for CAPE Phases 1–3.

A general tariff or trade-compliance consultant typically advises on classification, valuation, and ongoing compliance strategy, usually billed hourly or as a retainer. The Tariff Bureau's practice is narrower and more targeted: we identify importers who overpaid duties under IEEPA-based tariff actions, build the recovery case, and manage the reclaim process through CBP's Collection Action Processing Environment (CAPE), with no fee unless a recovery is made.
Eligibility Screening
A free assessment using your import data to estimate what may be recoverable before you commit to anything.
Case Preparation
We assemble the supporting entry data, documentation, and CAPE-track filings tied to your specific import history.
Recovery Management
We track your claim through CBP's process and keep you informed as CAPE Phases 1–3 move forward.
Who We Work With
Importers across electronics, industrial goods, apparel, and consumer products who paid IEEPA-related duties and have not yet pursued a refund claim. Whether you work with in-house trade compliance staff, a customs broker, or no dedicated trade counsel at all, our engagement is designed to sit alongside — not replace — your existing relationships.
Common Questions
Is this different from hiring a customs broker or trade attorney?
Yes. Brokers and attorneys typically handle classification, entry filing, or broader compliance matters. Our engagement is specific to identifying and pursuing IEEPA duty refund eligibility — often a complementary, not competing, relationship.
What does the free assessment involve?
A short intake of your import profile — country of origin, product category, approximate import value, and trade terms — used to produce an estimated recovery range before any engagement begins.
How is the fee structured?
Contingency-based: no upfront fee. Compensation is a percentage of what's actually recovered, set out in your signed Engagement Letter.
