Expert Duty Drawback Logistics Support

A duty drawback in logistics is generally a refund mechanism that allows eligible importers to recover duties, taxes, or tariffs paid on qualifying import activity. In Price Ridge’s work, the focus is on recovering unconstitutional IEEPA tariff payments through CBP’s CAPE Declaration process, using import records, CF7501 entry summaries, duty data, and customs broker documentation to support the claim.

In shipping, duty drawback refers to recovering eligible duties that were previously paid when goods entered the United States. For IEEPA tariff refunds, the refund is not automatic; the Importer of Record or an authorized broker must file a CAPE Declaration through the ACE Secure Data Portal. Price Ridge prepares the claim package, coordinates documentation, and tracks CBP processing.

Importers may qualify if they were the Importer of Record on U.S. entries that paid IEEPA duties during 2025–2026, typically reflected on CF7501 entry summaries under HTS 9903.01.25 or related codes. Price Ridge’s free eligibility review checks import origins, available records, duty amounts, IOR status, and whether a CAPE Declaration has already been filed.

The key documents usually include CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading or air waybills, and any CBP correspondence tied to the entries. Price Ridge coordinates with your customs broker to gather these records and validates the data needed for CAPE filing, including entry numbers, port codes, HTS classifications, and IOR information.

Price Ridge offers a contingency-based filing model with $0 upfront cost. The company takes an agreed percentage of the refund only when CBP disburses payment. The exact percentage depends on claim size and complexity and is discussed before engagement. A free, no-obligation eligibility review is available before any commitment is made.

CBP has indicated Phase 1 unliquidated entries may take roughly 45–90 days from CAPE Declaration acceptance for review and liquidation, though queue position matters. Phase 2 finally liquidated entries have no announced processing timeline. Price Ridge files promptly after receiving documents to secure your place in CBP’s processing queue as early as possible.

Yes. Price Ridge coordinates directly with customs brokers nationwide to obtain CF7501 entry summaries, payment records, invoices, and other supporting documentation. If you no longer have a broker relationship or records are missing, Price Ridge can also help retrieve import records through CBP importer query tools with proper authorization and power of attorney paperwork.

For qualifying claims of $500,000 or more, Price Ridge may purchase the refund claim outright at 75–85 cents on the dollar, subject to due diligence and definitive documentation. This gives importers immediate cash instead of waiting for CBP processing. Claim financing may also be available for companies that want liquidity while retaining potential upside.
