Smarter Duty Drawback Software for Importers

A duty drawback program allows eligible importers, exporters, or manufacturers to recover certain customs duties, taxes, or fees paid on imported goods when those goods are later exported, destroyed, or otherwise qualify under a refund program. For IEEPA-related tariff recovery, importers must identify eligible entries, prepare required CBP data, and submit the appropriate claim through CBP processes rather than waiting for an automatic refund.

Duty Drawback Software is designed to organize import records, identify potentially refundable duty payments, validate entry data, and support CBP-ready claim preparation. In Price Ridge’s workflow, software-supported analysis helps review CF7501 entry summaries, IEEPA tariff codes, country-of-origin data, liquidation status, and refund calculations before a CAPE Declaration is prepared and filed.

Your company may qualify if it was the Importer of Record on U.S. entries that paid refundable IEEPA duties during the relevant period, has access to import records or a customs broker who can provide them, and has not already filed the same claim. Price Ridge begins with a free eligibility review to confirm likely claim value before engagement.

The core documents usually include CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading or air waybills, and any relevant CBP correspondence. Price Ridge coordinates with your customs broker where possible, then uses the data to identify eligible entries, calculate refund amounts, and prepare CBP-compliant filing records.

Price Ridge offers a free no-obligation eligibility review. For qualifying IEEPA refund filing engagements, the standard model is contingency-based, meaning there is no upfront cost and Price Ridge is paid only when CBP disburses your refund. Exact percentages depend on claim size and complexity and are disclosed before any engagement is signed.

CBP’s timing depends on the type of entry and queue position. Phase 1 unliquidated entries have been described as faster, with CBP review after CAPE Declaration acceptance often cited in the 45–90 day range. Phase 2 finally liquidated entries may take longer because CBP’s process and timeline can be less defined.

Yes. Price Ridge can coordinate with your customs broker to gather CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, invoices, and other supporting records. If you no longer have a broker relationship or your broker cannot provide complete documents, Price Ridge may also help retrieve import records through appropriate CBP importer tools with authorization.

For claims of $500,000 or more in IEEPA duties paid, Price Ridge may offer an outright claim purchase at 75–85 cents on the dollar, subject to due diligence and definitive documentation. Claim financing may also be available for eligible importers that want liquidity before CBP disburses the refund while retaining potential upside.
