IEEPA Tariff Refund Recovery
Federal Refunds Are Never Straightforward. We've Recovered $550M+ of Them.
The Supreme Court ruled IEEPA tariffs unlawful. But the government is appealing, CBP has no refund process in place, and filing deadlines are already running. We're filing protective claims across every available pathway for importers on contingency, with a sliding-scale fee that drops by half if refunds turn out to be automatic.
Klibansky Broers & Galamba B.V. v. United States, No. 24-1230 (U.S. Feb. 20, 2026); Cent. Vac. Sys. v. United States, Nos. 25-537 & 25-538 (U.S. Feb. 20, 2026)The cost of being protected is almost nothing. The cost of being wrong is your entire refund.
How Does Tariff Refund Solutions Recover IEEPA Tariff Refunds?
Our Approach
Attorney-Led. Data-Driven.
Legal Authority + Enterprise Infrastructure
Our attorneys are admitted to practice before the Court of International Trade and authorized to file protests as your representative. Every pathway (PSC, protest, CIT complaint) is covered under one engagement.
We read your HTS codes, countries of origin, and duty amounts automatically to estimate your refund. Our workflow system tracks every entry from submission through resolution. No spreadsheets, no missed deadlines. See how it works →
Why Contingency
Keep More of What You Recover
You've probably heard that the refund process could be administrative because CBP is building a portal. But, it could require formal protests if your entries have already liquidated. Or, it could require litigation if the government appeals and blocks refunds entirely.
We cover every scenario under one engagement on a contingency basis with a sliding-scale fee structure. If the refund is administrative, our fee could be as low as 3%. If it requires additional filings or litigation, our fee scales up, but you still pay nothing unless money comes back to you. If the Supreme Court ultimately orders fully automatic refunds, our fee drops by 50%.
What you actually keep on a $2,000,000 claim
Wait for the government to act. Forfeit your entire claim.
Cash now at 40 cents on the dollar. Permanently give up 60%.
Keep up to 97%. Pay nothing unless we win.
All three options require $0 upfront. The difference is what you keep at the end. Our contingency fee decreases as your refund increases: a sliding scale that rewards larger claims. And if refunds turn out to be fully automatic, our rates drop by half.
What about hiring a law firm by the hour?
International trade attorneys at major firms bill $1,000 to $1,500 per hour. This litigation could drag on for months or years. If the government's appeal succeeds, even partially, you're on the hook for every invoice you've already paid. You could spend hundreds of thousands in legal fees and walk away with nothing.
A contingency firm eliminates that risk entirely. If there's no recovery, you owe nothing.
Contingency is how you hedge your bet. You pay $0 upfront. You pay $0 if you lose. Our sliding-scale fee structure means you keep up to 97% of your recovery. Our firm only gets paid when you do, so our incentives are aligned with yours from day one.
