Expert Duty Drawback Broker Support

Traditional duty drawback generally applies when imported goods, or articles made from imported goods, are later exported or destroyed under CBP rules. Price Ridge focuses on refundable IEEPA tariff payments for U.S. Importers of Record, which are recovered through CBP’s CAPE Declaration process rather than standard export-based drawback. Eligibility depends on your CF7501 records, tariff codes, IOR status, and duties paid.

A duty drawback broker or refund specialist helps identify refundable duty payments, gather customs documentation, calculate claim amounts, prepare CBP filings, and monitor the claim until payment. For IEEPA refunds, Price Ridge handles eligibility review, CF7501 collection, CAPE CSV preparation, ACE portal submission through authorized broker channels, CBP follow-up, and refund disbursement coordination.

Price Ridge’s IEEPA refund service is different from traditional drawback because it does not require proof that goods were exported or destroyed. Instead, it focuses on IEEPA-classified duties paid by U.S. Importers of Record during the eligible period. Those duties are identified on entry summaries, separated from non-refundable Section 232 or Section 301 tariffs, and filed through CAPE.

Most engagements begin with a free, no-obligation eligibility review. If you proceed, Price Ridge typically works on a contingency basis with $0 upfront cost, taking an agreed percentage only when CBP disburses the refund. For claims of $500,000 or more, Price Ridge may also offer outright claim purchase at 75–85¢ on the dollar for immediate cash.

The core documents are CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading or air waybills, and any CBP correspondence for affected entries. Price Ridge can coordinate directly with your customs broker to retrieve these records and can also support import record retrieval when a broker relationship is missing or incomplete.

CBP processing depends on entry status and queue position. Phase 1 unliquidated entries have been associated with a 45–90 day review window after CAPE Declaration acceptance. Phase 2 finally liquidated entries have no announced CBP timeline. Because CBP processes CAPE Declarations in the order received, early preparation and clean submission can materially affect timing.

Only the Importer of Record shown on the CF7501 entry summary has the legal right to claim the refund for that entry. If your supplier shipped Delivered Duty Paid or a freight forwarder acted as IOR, that party may own the refund right. Price Ridge confirms IOR status during the eligibility review before preparing any filing.

Yes. Price Ridge is built for importers without in-house customs teams or customs counsel. The team coordinates with your customs broker, retrieves required entry data, prepares the CAPE Declaration, tracks CBP activity, and manages questions through disbursement. All information is treated as strictly confidential and handled through phone, email, and secure document exchange.
