Tariff refunds

The Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs on February 20, 2026. Importers paid about $166 billion of them, and U.S. Customs is now paying that money back.

It does not come back on its own. You have to file, the process has deadlines, and as of this summer most of the money paid out had gone to large companies. Plenty of smaller importers are still waiting.

Figures from the Cato Institute, July 2026.

We work with Tariff Refund Agency, a team of licensed customs brokers and trade counsel, to find what you are owed and file for it.

How it works

1. Check if you qualify. If you imported goods into the U.S. in 2025 or 2026 as the importer of record, you may have a claim.
2. Send your import details. TRA reviews your entries and separates the refundable tariffs from everything else.
3. TRA files your claim with CBP and tracks every entry and deadline.
4. Pick your path. Wait for the full refund, or take an advance now.

What it costs

Nothing up front. TRA works on contingency, 10% to 20% of what you recover depending on your claim. No refund, no fee.

Need the money sooner?

Most clients qualify for advance funding, so you get paid before CBP processes your claim. It is subject to approval, and an advance can be less than the full refund.

Tariff Refund Agency is not CBP or a government agency. Eligibility, amounts and timing depend on your entries and are not guaranteed.
