Getting Your Tariff Refund Shouldn't Be This Complicated.
We make it simple. Upload your data, and we handle the rest — from analysis to filing to refund.
Tailored For You
Built for How You Actually Work
For Importers
You upload your entry data or authorize your broker to share it. We tell you what you’re owed. You sign an engagement letter. Then you go back to running your business — we handle filings, deadlines, court strategy, and monitoring. You hear from us when there’s a refund to collect.
For Customs Brokers
Your clients are asking about IEEPA refunds. Instead of building a recovery program from scratch, partner with us. We prepare every PSC package, protest, and legal filing — you submit PSCs through your existing ACE access and keep your client relationships. We make you look good.
For CPAs & Advisors
You’ve got clients with tariff exposure who need guidance. Refer them to us — we handle the operational and legal work, keep you in the loop, and make sure the accounting treatment is clean. Your clients get their money back. You stay their trusted advisor.
It feels simple because we engineered it that way. Here's what's actually happening under the hood.
Legal Strategy
Three Legal Pathways, Filed in Parallel
IEEPA refunds aren't one filing or one process. Your entries fall into different categories, each with its own deadline and mechanism — and the strongest strategy covers all of them simultaneously.
Post-Summary Correction (PSC)
For entries not yet liquidated by CBP, a PSC removes the IEEPA duty line before the entry closes. This is often the fastest path to a refund. Deadline: 300 days from entry or 15 days before liquidation — whichever comes first.
Filed by: Your customs broker, using data and documentation we prepare.
CBP Protest (Form 19)
For entries that have already liquidated with IEEPA duties, a formal protest challenges the assessment. The window is 180 days from liquidation — miss it and this path may close permanently.
Filed by: Our attorneys, as your authorized representative.
Court of International Trade (CIT)
The CIT has exclusive jurisdiction over tariff disputes and is expected to be the final arbiter of IEEPA refund rights. The government has stipulated it will refund similarly situated plaintiffs after final CIT orders — making this the strongest rights-preservation tool available.
Filed by: Our attorneys, admitted to practice before the CIT.
We don't pick one path and hope. We map every entry and pursue every applicable route, so no deadline passes and no door closes.
Industry Consensus
Why This Matters: The Legal Consensus
Not every firm covers all three paths. Some argue that only CBP protests should be used for IEEPA refunds. The legal consensus says otherwise.
Leading firms — including Skadden, Quinn Emanuel, Morgan Lewis, and Squire Patton Boggs — have all identified PSCs as the appropriate and often preferred mechanism for unliquidated entries. Buchalter calls PSC procedures “the most direct mechanism” for unliquidated IEEPA recovery.
“Importers should be able to file a post-summary correction with respect to unliquidated customs entries. The PSC would ‘correct’ the entry to remove the IEEPA tariff.”
Meanwhile, the CIT itself has questioned whether protests are even adequate for IEEPA refunds. Snell & Wilmer states the protest system “has already been determined to be inadequate for handling any IEEPA refunds.” And Bradley notes the government will only refund “similarly situated plaintiffs” after a final CIT order — meaning a CIT filing may be the only path that guarantees you're in line.
A protest-only strategy is incomplete. A PSC-only strategy is incomplete. The strongest position uses all three — and that is exactly what we build for every client.
Time-Sensitive
Your Deadlines Are Running
These windows are already open — and for some entries, already closing. Early action preserves the most options.
| Filing Type | Deadline | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Post-Summary Correction | 300 days from entry (or 15 days before liquidation) | Unliquidated entries |
| CBP Protest | 180 days from liquidation date | Liquidated entries |
| CIT Complaint | File early to preserve position | All entries |
Every week that passes narrows the pool of entries eligible for the fastest recovery paths.
