Fast, Clear IEEPA Refund Claim Purchase

A claim buyout is an outright purchase of a refund claim by a third party. For eligible IEEPA tariff refund claims, Price Ridge can pay the Importer of Record upfront for the claim, typically at 75-85¢ on the dollar, instead of the importer waiting for CBP to process and disburse the refund. The claim is supported by customs records such as CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, and CAPE Declaration data.

Price Ridge focuses on eligible IEEPA tariff refund claims tied to duties paid under IEEPA tariff actions. The service covers eligibility review, Importer of Record verification, document coordination, eligible entry identification, claim valuation, CAPE Declaration preparation, claim tracking, and disbursement support. Importers can pursue contingency-based filing, financing against a pending refund, or an outright claim purchase.

Eligibility generally starts with being the Importer of Record on U.S. entries that paid IEEPA duties. Price Ridge looks for IEEPA-related Chapter 99 HTS codes, confirms the claim has not already been filed, reviews documentation quality, and checks whether the claim meets minimum thresholds for contingency filing or purchase consideration.

For outright claim purchase, Price Ridge identifies a minimum claim size of $500,000 in IEEPA duties paid. Smaller claims may still qualify for contingency-based filing, which starts at $10,000 or more in IEEPA duties paid. The exact offer depends on factors such as claim size, documentation quality, entry status, complexity, and expected CBP processing path. Final acceptance depends on diligence findings and definitive agreement terms.

Price Ridge typically needs CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and any relevant CBP correspondence showing IEEPA tariff payments. If documents are missing, Price Ridge may coordinate with your customs broker or retrieve import records through CBP importer query tools with proper authorization and power of attorney paperwork.

Contingency filing means Price Ridge prepares, files, and manages the claim with $0 upfront cost, then receives an agreed percentage only when CBP disburses the refund. Claim purchase means Price Ridge buys the refund right, commonly at 75-85¢ on the dollar for qualifying $500K+ claims, giving the importer cash now instead of waiting through the CBP refund timeline. Selling can make sense when immediate working capital is worth more than waiting, particularly for finally liquidated entries, which follow a longer and less certain path.

All information shared with Price Ridge is treated as strictly confidential. The process is handled remotely through phone, email, and secure document exchange with you and your customs broker. Sensitive customs, financial, and import records are used for eligibility review, filing preparation, diligence, and claim management.

Price Ridge offers a free eligibility review with no obligation and aims to respond within one business day. Full timing depends on how quickly import records are available, whether the customs broker can provide complete CF7501 data, and whether the importer is pursuing filing, financing, or an outright claim purchase requiring additional diligence. Early document collection helps move the claim forward faster.
