THE PROBLEM

Customs, trade, and tax systems are designed to collect. Not to return.

Every year, North American businesses overpay in customs duties, miss refund windows on unconstitutional tariff assessments, and fail to claim credits available under applicable programs. Not because the money is not recoverable — it is, and it is documented — but because the systems designed to collect it are not designed to return it.

IEEPA REFUNDS

Tariff Refund Recovery

The Supreme Court ruled IEEPA-imposed reciprocal tariffs unconstitutional. CBP's CAPE portal is open. Most importers have not yet filed. We identify eligible duties, prepare the declaration, and manage the filing — on a success fee.
