Get your IEEPA tariffs back before the deadlines pass

The Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs on 20 February 2026. Refunds depend on each entry's liquidation status. Paste your entries to see which go through CBP's CAPE process, which need a protest within 180 days of liquidation, and which are already final.

  • Sorts every entry into CAPE, protest or court, with days left on each protest window
  • Totals the IEEPA duty at stake on each route and flags protests due within 30 days
  • CSV for your customs broker, and calendar reminders for protest deadlines

Frequently asked questions

Who can claim the refund?

The importer of record that paid the duty. If a supplier or freight forwarder was the importer of record and passed the tariff on to you in the price, your recovery is a commercial matter with them, not a CBP refund.

What if an entry isn't liquidated yet?

It can go into a CAPE declaration. Entries usually liquidate about 314 days after entry, so an old entry with no liquidation date should be checked in ACE; it may have liquidated since your report was run.

Is the 180-day protest deadline strict?

Yes. A protest must be filed within 180 days of the liquidation date. After that the liquidation is final and the remaining route is litigation, which usually only makes sense for larger amounts.
