Step 1 of 4

Are you the Importer of Record?

The Importer of Record (IOR) is the party listed on CBP Form 7501, the entity responsible for paying customs duties. Only the IOR can file a refund claim directly with CBP through CAPE.

Yes, my company is the IOR

The name on my CBP 7501 forms matches my business

No, we buy from a supplier who imports

We're a retailer, distributor, or downstream buyer

Not sure

I'd need to check with our customs broker or logistics team

Step 2 of 4

Were you paying IEEPA tariffs in 2025–2026?

IEEPA tariffs were collected between February 4, 2025 and February 24, 2026. If your company imported goods during this period, you may have paid them.

Yes, we were importing and paying tariffs during this period

No, we weren't importing during this period

Not sure, I'd need to check our records

Step 4 of 4

Have you completed ACH enrollment in CBP's ACE portal?

Yes, we're enrolled and our bank account is linked

No, we haven't done this yet

Not sure, I'd need to check

Important note

Your situation is different, but not hopeless.

Because you're not the Importer of Record on your CBP entries, you don't have a direct refund claim through CBP's CAPE portal.

The refund goes to the party listed as the IOR on the CBP Form 7501. If your supplier imported the goods and is the IOR, they're the ones who can file the claim directly.

However, if your supplier passed the tariff costs on to you through higher prices, you may have options under contract law, including unjust enrichment claims or renegotiated pricing agreements.

We can connect you with a trade attorney who specializes in exactly this situation. There's no cost to get an initial assessment.
