Deadlines are already passing. The earliest IEEPA tariff entries began liquidating in December 2025. Once an entry liquidates, you have 180 days to file a protest — or you lose your refund rights permanently. If you imported goods subject to IEEPA tariffs, do not wait.

Who Qualifies for a Tariff Refund

✅ You Likely Qualify If:

  • You imported goods into the U.S. after February 4, 2025
  • You paid tariffs imposed under IEEPA (most "reciprocal" tariffs)
  • You imported from China, Canada, Mexico, EU, or virtually any country
  • You're a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or e-commerce seller using imported goods
  • You paid tariffs on finished goods, raw materials, or components

⚠️ Important to Know:

  • Section 232 tariffs (steel/aluminum) are NOT affected by this ruling
  • Section 301 tariffs (pre-existing China tariffs) are NOT affected
  • You must act within 180 days of your entries being liquidated
  • Entries from February 2025 may have already reached their deadline
  • No refund is automatic — you must file claims or join CIT litigation
Common Questions

What You Need to Know

How much does this cost me?
The claim evaluation through RefundBot is completely free. If you connect with a lawyer, their fee structure depends on the attorney — many work on contingency for tariff recovery, meaning they only get paid when you get your refund.
What was the Supreme Court ruling?
On February 20, 2026, the Court ruled 6-3 that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. This means the tariffs collected since early 2025 under IEEPA authority were illegal, opening the door for importers to seek refunds of duties paid.
Will I automatically get a refund?
No. The Court's ruling did not order refunds. Importers must take affirmative action — filing protests with CBP, post-summary corrections, or joining litigation in the U.S. Court of International Trade. Importers who don't act risk losing their rights entirely.
How long will the refund process take?
Trade experts estimate months to years. The CIT and CBP must develop an implementation framework for handling over 34 million affected entries. Filing early positions you ahead of the line.
What about Trump's new 10% tariff?
Trump announced a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 hours after the ruling. This is a separate legal authority from IEEPA. Whether it will face its own legal challenges is yet to be determined — but it does not affect your right to a refund for IEEPA tariffs already paid.
Is TariffSheriff a law firm?
No. TariffSheriff is a technology platform that helps importers evaluate their tariff refund eligibility and connects them with independent, vetted trade lawyers. We do not provide legal advice. All legal services are provided by licensed attorneys in our network.
