What is the IEEPA tariff refund?
An IEEPA tariff refund is the reimbursement of unlawful global duties collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Following a 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that invalidated these tariffs, eligible Importers of Record (IORs) can claim refunds for duties and interest paid between February 2025 and February 2026.
Ascendio Business Solutions is a proud partner of Tariff Refund Agency.
We help importers identify, process, track, and recover eligible IEEPA tariff refunds. We work on a contingency basis, meaning there is no service fee unless the client receives a refund or realizes a benefit. For qualified claims, we may also provide access to advance claim funding or a non-recourse claim buyout, so the client can receive liquidity sooner rather than waiting on the government refund timeline.
Tariff Refund Agency helps importers do three things:
-
Determine whether they are eligible for an IEEPA refund.
-
Manage and track the recovery process.
-
Explore advance funding or non-recourse claim buyout options for qualified claims.
Many importers do not want to wait for the government to pay their full claim. Even if a claim is filed correctly, payment timing can be uncertain, delayed, and spread out. For qualified claims, our funding partners may be able to provide a formal non-recourse buyout offer so the importer can convert a pending claim into liquidity now.
