Entry-by-entry analysis of CF7501 summaries to identify refundable IEEPA tariff lines, separate non-refundable duties, and calculate the total claim value before filing.

Coordination with your customs broker to collect CF7501 forms, invoices, duty payment records, bills of lading, and supporting documents required for CBP submission.

CAPE Filing

Preparation and validation of the strict CAPE CSV format, followed by ACE Secure Data Portal submission through the proper CBP CAPE workflow.

Claim Tracking

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you claim back import duties?

Yes, import duties can be claimed back when a valid legal or customs basis exists. For U.S. importers, Price Ridge focuses on IEEPA tariff refunds, where eligible duties paid between 2025-2026 may be recoverable through CBP’s CAPE Declaration process. The Importer of Record must identify eligible entries, document the duty paid, and submit the required filing through ACE.
