Tariff Refund Services for Automotive Companies
The Supreme Court's decision on IEEPA tariffs reopened billions of dollars in import duties paid by U.S. businesses, including automotive companies importing parts, components, equipment, and finished goods. We help identify eligible entries, protect your filing rights, and recover the tariff refunds your business may be owed, managed from first review through final payment.
Tariffs Added Up Fast. Getting Them Back Takes the Right Strategy.
The Court invalidated IEEPA tariffs, but recovering duties already paid isn't necessarily automatic. Entry status, liquidation timing, filing requirements, and the recovery route available can all determine what your automotive business needs to do next.
One Supply Chain, Hundreds of Potential Claims
Automotive supply chains can span parts, assemblies, electronics, tools, equipment, and finished products sourced across numerous suppliers. Each entry can carry its own duty amount, HTS classification, liquidation status, and deadline, making a complete review critical to understanding the full recovery opportunity.
Guidance Continues to Evolve
CBP guidance, court rulings, and executive actions continue to shape the IEEPA tariff refund process. For automotive companies with frequent imports and multiple active entries, staying ahead of those changes can be essential to protecting available refund rights.
Tariffs Took Capital Out of Your Supply Chain
Import duties increased the cost of parts and goods before they reached your facility, distribution network, or customers. Recovering eligible tariffs can put that capital back toward inventory, supplier payments, new equipment, expansion, and the other costs of keeping your automotive operation moving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about automotive tariff refunds, auto parts and component imports, filing deadlines, eligibility, and how TRG manages the recovery process.
Yes. Automotive companies that acted as importers of record and paid eligible IEEPA duties may have refund rights following the Supreme Court's decision. This can include qualifying duties paid on imported automotive parts, components, equipment, and other goods. The appropriate recovery process depends on the status and circumstances of each entry.
Potentially. Auto parts tariff refunds depend on factors including when the goods were entered, which duties were assessed, the applicable HTS classification, country of origin, and the entry's current liquidation status. TRG reviews these factors entry by entry to identify duties that may qualify for recovery.
Per CBP's court filings, hundreds of thousands of importers paid an estimated $166 billion in IEEPA duties, with accrued interest potentially increasing the total. Your individual recovery depends on your import volume, countries of origin, HTS codes, applicable tariff rates, and duties paid across eligible entries. A TRG audit calculates the potential recovery so you have an itemized figure before moving forward.
Yes. Available recovery options and filing deadlines can depend on the liquidation status of each entry. Automotive companies importing parts and goods regularly may therefore have multiple deadlines across their import history. Reviewing those entries early helps prioritize time-sensitive claims and protect available refund rights.
Nothing upfront. Our fee is fully contingency-based, starting as low as 1.5%, and comes from the refund we recover for you. There are no retainers or hourly fees, and if there's nothing to recover, there's nothing owed.
