Customs Duty Drawback Recovery Services

Drawback recovery is the process of reclaiming customs duties, taxes, or tariffs when the law allows a refund. Traditional duty drawback often applies when imported goods are later exported or destroyed. Price Ridge focuses on helping U.S. Importers of Record recover eligible customs duty and tariff refunds by auditing entries, preparing CBP-ready filings, and tracking claims through disbursement.

For traditional U.S. duty drawback, many claims are generally tied to exports or destructions within a statutory lookback period, commonly up to five years from import depending on the claim type and facts. For IEEPA-related tariff refund recovery, Price Ridge reviews 2025-2026 import entries and separates unliquidated Phase 1 entries from finally liquidated Phase 2 entries for filing strategy.

A simple example is a company that imports components, pays customs duties, then exports finished goods made with those components; it may be able to recover eligible duties through drawback. In Price Ridge’s refund work, an importer that paid IEEPA tariffs on eligible 2025-2026 entries may recover those tariff amounts through a CBP CAPE Declaration filing.

Price Ridge’s free eligibility review looks at whether your company was the Importer of Record, whether eligible duties or tariffs were paid, whether the relevant CF7501 entry summaries are available, and whether a claim is worth pursuing. For IEEPA recovery, the team checks HTS codes such as 9903.01.25 and related classifications across your import history.

Key documents typically include CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading or air waybills, and any CBP correspondence. Price Ridge can coordinate directly with your customs broker to gather these records. If documents are missing, import record retrieval may be available through CBP importer query tools with proper authorization.

Price Ridge offers a contingency-based engagement with $0 upfront cost. The fee is an agreed percentage of the refund and is paid only when CBP disburses your refund. The exact percentage depends on claim size and complexity and is disclosed before signing. Larger claims may also qualify for claim purchase or advance funding options.

Timing depends on the claim type, entry status, CBP queue position, and whether agency questions arise. For IEEPA refund filings, CBP has described Phase 1 processing windows after CAPE acceptance, while Phase 2 finally liquidated entries may take longer. Price Ridge prioritizes accurate filing and queue position, then monitors status and responds to CBP inquiries.

Yes. Price Ridge works with customs brokers to collect CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, and related import documents. The team understands broker portals and CBP data requirements, which helps reduce missing fields, mismatched entry details, and other issues that can delay or jeopardize a filing.
