The amount depends on how much your company imported, which tariffs were charged, and whether the entries qualify. Some businesses may recover thousands of dollars, while others may be eligible for much more. Our initial claim review will provide a clearer estimate based on your company’s actual import history.

Generally, no. This is a refund of duties that your business previously paid. Once the refund is properly approved and issued, the money belongs to your business and can be used for inventory, debt reduction, operating expenses, expansion, or any other business purpose.

Processing times can vary. Straightforward claims may be completed more quickly, while complicated or incomplete filings may take longer. Filing promptly, providing accurate information, and submitting the correct documentation can help prevent unnecessary delays.

You may be able to handle parts of the process yourself, but the filing can be complicated. It may involve reviewing eligible customs entries, using the ACE Secure Data Portal, preparing properly formatted files, confirming banking information with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and determining which filing procedure applies.

In some cases, the original customs broker or the Importer of Record must submit the filing. Our team can help determine the correct process and assist with submitting an accurate claim.

Yes. The deadline depends on the status and liquidation date of each customs entry. Some entries must be addressed within a limited number of days, while others may require a formal protest within 180 days of liquidation. Missing an applicable deadline could cause your business to lose its right to recover the money, so it is important to review your entries as soon as possible.

Your initial claim review is free, with no obligation or upfront fee. If your business moves forward, the service is provided on a percentage of the recovered tariffs. That means we are paid when your business receives a refund. The fee structure will be clearly explained before you decide to proceed.

Payment can take up to 120 days after the claim is accepted. But you have no need to wait. We offer advance funding for all accepted claims if you want your operating capital sooner.

Eligible tariff refunds are handled through official U.S. Customs and Border Protection procedures. Because businesses should be cautious about anyone asking for financial or customs information, it is important to work with qualified professionals who use the official ACE system and follow CBP requirements.
