DutyClaims helps importers and customs brokers get fast answers on refund timing, required data, and liquidity options — all in one place.
Grounded in case filings, court decisions, and trade commentary.
Three steps.
Confusion to action.
IEEPA Tariff
Refunds.
Recent Supreme Court action on IEEPA tariffs has created significant refund demand — but refund mechanics are still procedural and timeline-dependent.
Identify IEEPA tariff exposure
From your entry data, surface refund-eligible entries automatically.
Preserve deadlines before rights expire
Flag time-sensitive windows and generate preservation checklists.
Prepare filing-ready records
Build a complete record for CBP workflows and potential escalation.
Track deadlines and updates
Automated monitoring so nothing slips through the cracks.
Don't miss
refund deadlines.
For many tariff refund pathways, timing is everything. Once entries liquidate, protest windows can be strict. If you wait, rights can expire even if the underlying tariffs later become refundable.
DutyClaims flags time-sensitive entries and generates a preservation checklist so your team knows what to do next — fast.
What is a
Tariff refund?
A tariff refund is money returned when tariffs (or additional duties) were collected but later become refundable through legal, administrative, or procedural pathways — including overpayments, successful CBP protests, corrections, and other recognized recovery mechanisms.
DutyClaims does not replace your broker or counsel. We make tariff refund claims operational: clear inputs, clean handoffs, deadline tracking, and a shared working record for your team.
