About IEEPA Tariff Recovery
Why This Site Exists
When the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs in February 2026, an estimated 330,000 U.S. businesses gained the right to recover tariff payments they had made over the prior year. But the refund process — navigating the CAPE portal, understanding HTS Chapter 99 codes, configuring ACE banking — is genuinely complex, and clear, primary-source information has been hard to find.
IEEPA Tariff Recovery is an independent informational resource that explains the refund opportunity, the eligibility requirements, and the filing process in plain English. We cite primary sources throughout — CBP documentation, court orders, Federal Register notices, and credible journalism — so you can verify everything we publish.
We are not a customs broker, law firm, tax advisor, or licensed professional. Nothing on this site is legal, tax, or financial advice. Our role is educational: we explain what we know, source what we say, and route interested readers to a qualified recovery partner for personalized assistance.
Editorial Standards
Every substantive claim on this site is sourced to a primary source — CBP guidance, court documents, Federal Register notices, or credible trade press coverage. We do not publish unverified claims, do not invent case studies or testimonials, and do not guarantee refund amounts or timelines.
We use hedged language ("may qualify," "could be eligible," "potentially recover") throughout the site because eligibility genuinely depends on each importer's specific circumstances. A general eligibility checklist is not a substitute for a review of your actual entry records.
All content is reviewed for compliance with the disclosure requirements described below before publication.
Affiliate Relationship and How We Make Money
The "Check if you qualify" buttons and links throughout this site lead to a third-party qualification flow operated by a recovery partner. If you engage that partner's services and recover a tariff refund, we may receive a referral fee.
This referral relationship does not influence the informational content we publish. We would publish the same eligibility information, CAPE filing guidance, and primary-source citations regardless of whether affiliate links existed. Our editorial goal is accuracy and clarity; our affiliate relationship is the commercial model that supports the site.
