How the program works
How the IEEPA tariff refund review works
IEEPA is a federal law used as authority for certain emergency tariffs. Court challenges have created potential recovery questions for some importers, but eligibility depends on the specific entries, tariff type and applicable deadlines.
2. Data and feasibility review
The specialist reviews available entry or ACE data to identify tariff payments that may warrant recovery.
3. Recovery support
If the matter is accepted, the specialist manages the applicable filings, documentation and follow-up.
Already have a customs broker?
That is not a problem. This review is a complementary second opinion focused on past duty recovery, not a replacement for the broker handling your current imports.
Businesses that should take a closer look
Import-heavy companies in these categories may have meaningful tariff-payment histories.
Consumer electronics and components
Devices, batteries, cables, lighting, small electronics and electronic parts.
Auto parts and aftermarket products
Replacement parts, tools, wheels, lighting, accessories and performance components.
Industrial supplies and machinery
Equipment, metal products, assemblies, pumps, motors and manufacturing inputs.
Apparel, home and consumer goods
Clothing, footwear, furniture, housewares, décor and private-label products.
Medical, beauty and personal care
Non-prescription products, devices, supplies, packaging and personal-care goods.

Industry alone does not determine eligibility. Import history, tariff data and timing control the review.
Timing can matter: Customs protest and preservation deadlines may apply, so an early review can help identify available next steps.
Common questions
IEEPA tariff refund FAQ
What is an IEEPA tariff refund review?
It is a specialized review of certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The review examines import and payment data to determine whether particular entries may support a recovery path.
How much could an IEEPA tariff refund be?
The program reports average client refunds of approximately $450,000, but this is not a promise or an estimate for any specific business. Potential recovery depends on tariff payments, eligible entries, records, timing and the final review.
How long does the first step take?
The initial conversation generally takes about 15 minutes. The full review and any recovery process take longer and vary by documentation, filing requirements, Customs processing and the individual matter.
Do I need to replace my customs broker?
No. Your broker can continue handling normal import operations. This service focuses on historical tariff recovery and works as a specialized second opinion.
What information may be needed?
The initial inquiry only requires basic business and import information. If the review continues, entry summaries, ACE data or broker records may be requested securely.
Is there an upfront fee or a guaranteed refund?
There is no upfront review cost under the success-based model, but no refund amount or outcome is guaranteed. Any engagement is subject to eligibility review and the final service agreement.
