Expert Duty Drawback Services for Importers

Duty drawback services help importers recover customs duties that may be refundable under CBP rules or refund programs. Price Ridge focuses on recoverable tariff and duty claims, including IEEPA tariff refund filings through CBP’s CAPE Declaration process. The service includes eligibility review, document collection, entry audit, filing support, claim tracking, and refund disbursement coordination.

U.S. Importers of Record may qualify if they paid refundable duties on eligible entries and have the supporting customs records. For IEEPA refund work, Price Ridge looks for entries from 2025–2026, IEEPA-affected origins, relevant HTS codes such as 9903.01.25 and related codes, and no prior CAPE Declaration already filed for the same claim.

Price Ridge starts with a free, no-obligation eligibility review. You generally need basic import information, country of origin, approximate import value, IEEPA duties paid, and access to CF7501 entry summaries or a customs broker who can provide them. The initial screen can usually be completed quickly without sharing extensive sensitive records upfront.

Key documents usually include CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading or air waybills, and any CBP correspondence connected to the entries. Price Ridge coordinates with your customs broker to collect and reconcile these records, helping prevent missing or mismatched data from delaying the filing.

A CAPE Declaration is CBP’s required CSV-format filing for IEEPA tariff refund claims through the ACE Secure Data Portal. Each row lists an eligible entry summary with details such as entry number, port code, IOR number, entered value, IEEPA duty amount, HTS subheading, and country of origin. Formatting accuracy is critical because errors can trigger rejection.

Price Ridge’s standard engagement is contingency-based, meaning $0 upfront cost for qualified claims. The company receives an agreed percentage only when CBP disburses the refund. The exact percentage depends on claim size and complexity and is disclosed before engagement. A free eligibility review is provided before any commitment is required.

CBP has indicated that validated Phase 1 unliquidated entries may be reviewed and liquidated within approximately 45–90 days after CAPE Declaration acceptance, but queue position can affect timing. Phase 2 finally liquidated entries have no announced CBP processing timeline. Price Ridge files promptly to help secure an earlier place in the processing queue.

Yes. For larger IEEPA refund claims, Price Ridge offers liquidity options beyond waiting for CBP. Importers with claims of $500,000 or more may be eligible to sell the claim outright at 75–85¢ on the dollar. Claim financing may also be available, typically advancing 60–80% of estimated refund value, subject to due diligence and documentation.
