Tariff Relief Claim Your IEEPA Refund Now

IEEPA tariff relief refers to refunds available to U.S. importers who paid tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act that courts have ruled unlawful. Following the Court of International Trade order and subsequent Supreme Court decisions, affected importers — including manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and other businesses that paid these duties — may be entitled to refunds with interest. Eligibility depends on your import activity, the specific tariff codes involved, and whether your goods meet duty drawback criteria.

Filing an IEEPA tariff refund claim requires submitting a duty drawback claim to U.S. Customs and Border Protection through certified ABI software. The process involves gathering trade documents such as commercial invoices, bills of lading, and customs entry records, then matching import activity to eligible export or drawback events. Zollback automates this entire process — from document parsing to CBP filing — handling the regulatory complexity on your behalf.

To support a tariff relief claim with CBP, you will typically need commercial invoices, bills of lading, customs entry summaries, and proof of export or qualifying use (for manufacturing drawback). The exact documentation requirements depend on which drawback type applies to your situation. Zollback's AI-powered platform accepts documents in any format — PDF, CSV, or ERP export — and structures everything automatically for filing.

Traditional drawback providers relying on manual Excel workflows and legacy software typically take 9–12 months to process a claim. Zollback's automated platform compresses that timeline to 10–15 working days by using AI document parsing and algorithmic optimization to prepare and file claims electronically. Actual refund deposit timing is subject to CBP processing, but automation significantly reduces the preparation and filing stage.

Duty drawback claims generally must be filed within five years of the date of importation under U.S. customs regulations. Given the active legal landscape around IEEPA tariffs, acting promptly ensures you preserve eligibility for the full refund window. Consult with a licensed customs broker to confirm applicable deadlines for your specific import entries and tariff types.

Through duty drawback, up to 99% of import duties paid may be recoverable on eligible entries. The exact amount depends on your specific import-export activity, applicable HTS classifications, and which drawback types apply. Zollback's proprietary optimization algorithms evaluate all possible matching combinations to ensure you recover the maximum allowable amount — recovering 15–20% more than manual methods in head-to-head comparisons.
