What is the IEEPA tariff refund?
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) was used to impose certain import tariffs. Recent legal challenges have opened a path for U.S. importers who paid these duties to seek refunds of amounts paid.
Questions from importers and finance leaders
Straightforward answers about IEEPA tariff refund eligibility, the legal process, timelines, and what to expect when working with our partner law firm.
Who qualifies for a refund?
Any U.S. business that imported goods and paid tariffs assessed under IEEPA orders may qualify. Eligibility depends on import volume, the entry dates, the products imported, and the duties paid.
How long does the process take?
Initial qualification takes about 60 seconds. If you qualify, the law firm typically completes a formal review within 1–2 weeks and files claims on a rolling basis thereafter.
Is there any upfront cost?
No. The qualification check and initial legal consultation are free. Engagement terms are discussed transparently with the law firm before you commit to anything.
Who handles the legal work?
Qualified inquiries are routed to an independent law firm specializing in customs and international trade litigation. xBenefits LLC operates the technology and intake platform; it does not provide legal services.
What information do I need to provide?
To qualify, you only need basic information about your business and importing activity. If you proceed, the firm may request entry summaries (CBP Form 7501), broker statements, or other import documentation.
How much could my business recover?
Recovery amounts vary widely based on tariffs paid. Some importers have paid hundreds of thousands or millions in IEEPA-related duties. Your firm-led review will provide a realistic estimate.
Is my information secure?
Yes. All form submissions are encrypted in transit and stored on secure infrastructure. We only share your information with the law firm reviewing your case. See our Privacy Policy for details.
What if I'm not sure whether I paid IEEPA tariffs?
That's common. Customs brokers handle most filings, and many importers don't track which tariffs were assessed under which authority. The law firm can review your records to determine eligibility.
