Claim Tracking

Claims are monitored through CBP review, validation, reliquidation, agency inquiries, and final disbursement to keep the refund process moving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a duty refund?

A duty refund is money returned to an importer when customs duties were overpaid, assessed incorrectly, or later determined to be refundable. For IEEPA tariff claims, the refundable portion is the IEEPA-classified duty paid on eligible entries, typically identified on CF7501 entry summaries under HTS 9903.01.25 and related codes. CBP does not automatically issue these refunds; importers must file the proper claim.
