IEEPA Tariff Refund Claims

Get Paid Upfront for Your
IEEPA Tariff Refund

You overpaid tariffs. The government owes you a refund, but collecting can take years. We buy your claim so you get paid now.

Upload your customs data, see what your refund is worth, and request a cash offer. We connect IEEPA claim holders with institutional buyers based in New York. Our buyer network has acquired over $5B in claims across more than 5,000 transactions, including litigation settlements, tax receivables, and government-related claims.

Why This Matters

Understanding this early gives you more flexibility.

Government recovery is slow and uncertain. Most importers wait years for administrative resolution. Selling your claim converts that wait into proceeds now.
Some entries are still within filing windows. Others have already closed. Knowing which category yours fall into determines what you can still do.
Your filing status determines what's still actionable. The analyzer shows you exactly where each entry stands today.

Context

Why Sell Your Claim Instead of Waiting

When you sell your claim, we pay you and take on the process of collecting from the government. Here is why some importers choose this route.

Avoid Long Timelines

Sell your claim and get paid now, not later.

You Get Paid Either Way

Once you sell your claim, the outcome of the government process is no longer your concern. The buyer takes on that risk. You receive your cash refund within weeks rather than waiting on the ever changing government timeline.

Reduce Ongoing Burden

Managing a claim can involve filings, deadlines, and potential litigation. Selling your claim offloads most of that ongoing work.

Put Capital to Work Sooner

The sale proceeds let you put capital to work now instead of waiting on government timelines.

The ES-003 is a standard CBP Entry Summary report available through the ACE Secure Data Portal at ace.cbp.gov. It lists your import entries, HTS codes, entered values, and duties paid. This is the data the analyzer uses to identify IEEPA-related entries from 2025 and early 2026 and estimate potential duty exposure. Your customs broker can also pull this file on your behalf.

No. You can access the ES-003 directly through CBP's ACE portal if you have an account. If you work with a customs broker, they can export this file for you. It is a standard request. If you do not have the file ready, you can skip the upload and request a preliminary evaluation directly.

SellTariffRefund.com connects U.S. importers looking to sell IEEPA refund claims with institutional buyers in New York who want to acquire them. Our buyer network has acquired over $5B in claims across more than 5,000 transactions, including litigation settlements, tax receivables, and government-related claims. We are not a law firm, broker-dealer, exchange, or investment adviser and do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. Every sale is subject to the parties' own review and agreement.

No. This is not a standardized government refund program. Potential recovery of IEEPA-related duties may occur through existing administrative and legal processes, including CBP protests (19 U.S.C. § 1514), post-summary corrections, or other remedies, subject to evolving agency guidance and court outcomes. This tool provides an estimate to help you understand your potential exposure.

Eligibility depends on documentation, size, jurisdiction, and enforceability. Pursuing duty recovery typically requires complete entry documentation, legal analysis of applicable tariff classifications and filing deadlines, and in many cases formal protest filings or litigation. This site does not provide legal advice or customs brokerage services.

No. Selling your claim is one option, not a requirement. You can wait and collect the refund yourself through the standard government process. Whether to sell is entirely your decision, and there is no obligation at any stage.
