FAQ

Common questions, honest answers.

Who qualifies for an IEEPA tariff refund?
US importers of record who paid IEEPA tariffs on entries filed between February 2025 and February 2026. That is roughly 330,000 importers across $166 billion in collected duties, per CBP data.
How long does an IEEPA tariff refund take?
CAPE portal refunds typically run 60 to 90 days from an accepted declaration. CF-19 protests on liquidated entries follow the standard CBP timeline, commonly 120 to 360 days depending on port and complexity.
Do I need a licensed customs broker to file?
Yes. Under 19 CFR 111, customs business including entry filing, HTS classification, and protest preparation must be performed by a licensed customs broker. Tariff Refund Credits is a lead-generation service that connects you with licensed customs broker partners.
What does recovery cost?
Our licensed customs broker partners publish a contingency range and an hourly option. No upfront fees on contingency. We publish the range on the pricing page so there is no surprise.
Is any refund guaranteed?
No. Refund amounts depend on HTS classification, liquidation status, and CBP adjudication. Estimate only, subject to CBP adjudication. Some entries auto-disqualify: UFLPA, AD-CVD, and transshipment scenarios are referred to customs-law firms.
