$166 BILLION IN REFUNDS

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump’s IEEPA tariffs were unconstitutional. If your business paid tariffs on imports between February 2025 and February 2026, you may be entitled to a full refund — plus interest.

The CAPE refund portal is now open. The clock is ticking. Over 330,000 importers are eligible.

Are You Eligible for a Tariff Refund?

You may be entitled to a refund if your business:

• Imported goods into the United States between February 2025 and February 2026

• Paid tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)

• This includes the “reciprocal” tariffs (April 2025), China tariffs, and Canada/Mexico tariffs

• You are the Importer of Record or your customs broker filed entries on your behalf

The average small-business importer paid approximately $306,000 in IEEPA tariffs. That money is now recoverable — but you must file a claim. Refunds are not automatic.

How the Refund Process Works

Step 1: Determine Eligibility

We review your import records to identify all entries subject to IEEPA tariffs and calculate your estimated refund.

Step 2: Prepare and File Your CAPE Declaration

We compile your entry numbers, verify eligibility under Phase 1 rules, and submit your declaration through the CBP’s CAPE portal. Errors in formatting or data can cause rejections — accuracy is critical.

Step 3: Monitor and Follow Up

CBP processes approved claims within 60-90 days. We track your claim through every stage and address any issues that arise.

Step 4: Collect Your Refund

Refunds are paid directly to the Importer of Record via electronic funds transfer (ACH), including accrued interest.

No upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis — you pay nothing unless we recover money for you.

Why You Need Legal Representation

While the CAPE portal is designed for self-service, the process involves significant legal and procedural risks:

Rejected claims cannot be resubmitted. Once a CAPE Declaration is accepted, it cannot be amended. Errors in entry numbers, tariff codes, or formatting can result in permanent loss of refund eligibility.

Not all entries qualify for Phase 1. Liquidated entries past the 180-day protest window require Court of International Trade litigation — not a portal filing.

The government may challenge refunds. Treasury Secretary Bessent has publicly stated the process “could be a mess.” The administration has indicated it may contest certain categories of claims.

Interest calculations matter. Proper documentation of when tariffs were paid affects the interest component of your refund.

Future tariff exposure. New Section 122 and potential Section 301 tariffs are already in effect or under consideration. Understanding your total trade position matters.
