Tariff Refund Services for E-Commerce Businesses
The Supreme Court's decision on IEEPA tariffs opened the door to recovering billions in import duties paid by U.S. businesses, including online sellers importing products, merchandise, and inventory. We help e-commerce businesses identify eligible entries, navigate the claims process, and recover the tariff refunds they may be owed, from initial review through final payment.
Your Tariffs May Be Refundable. Getting Them Back Takes Work.
The Court invalidated IEEPA tariffs, but recovering duties already paid involves a process that's technical, deadline-driven, and still evolving. Entry status, liquidation timing, and filing requirements can all affect your recovery.
Multiple Shipments, Different Refund Deadlines
E-commerce businesses often import products across multiple suppliers, shipments, and product categories. CAPE declarations, protective protests, and CIT litigation may apply depending on each entry's liquidation status, duty exposure, and available recovery options.
Refund Requirements Keep Changing
CBP guidance, court rulings, and executive actions continue to shape the IEEPA tariff refund process. Missing an important update could affect your filing strategy or available recovery window.
Capital Tied Up in Imported Inventory
Tariffs increased the landed cost of products before they ever reached your warehouse, fulfillment center, or customers. Recovering eligible duties can free up capital for inventory replenishment, advertising, supplier payments, and business growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about e-commerce tariff refunds, eligible imports, filing deadlines, the evolving CBP process, and how TRG manages recovery for online businesses.
Yes. E-commerce businesses that acted as importers of record and paid eligible IEEPA duties may qualify for refunds following the Supreme Court's decision. This can include duties paid on imported merchandise, consumer products, and inventory sold through online stores or marketplaces. Eligibility depends on the individual entries and applicable recovery requirements.
Potentially. Online sellers may qualify for refunds on eligible IEEPA duties paid when importing products for resale. However, simply selling imported goods through an online store or marketplace doesn't automatically establish refund eligibility. TRG reviews import records, duty payments, and importer-of-record information to identify available recovery opportunities.
Your potential refund depends on import volume, countries of origin, HTS classifications, tariff rates, and the duties paid across eligible entries. Businesses importing large quantities of products may have substantial amounts tied up in previously paid tariffs. A TRG audit calculates potential recovery entry by entry, providing a clear estimate before moving forward.
Yes. Available recovery options and filing deadlines can depend on the liquidation status of each import entry. E-commerce businesses importing products regularly may have different deadlines across shipments and suppliers. Reviewing those entries early helps identify 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.
