IEEPA Tariff Refund Calculator Tool

To get a tariff refund, your company must generally be the Importer of Record on entries that paid refundable IEEPA duties, identify the eligible CF7501 entry summaries, calculate the IEEPA duty portion, and file a CAPE Declaration through CBP’s ACE Secure Data Portal. Price Ridge handles the eligibility review, documentation, CAPE filing, claim tracking, and disbursement coordination on a contingency basis.

Your refund is calculated by reviewing each CF7501 entry summary, identifying IEEPA-classified HTS line items such as 9903.01.25 and related codes, and summing only the IEEPA duties paid. Non-refundable Section 301, Section 232, and standard MFN duties must be separated out. Price Ridge’s audit also sorts entries by Phase 1 unliquidated and Phase 2 finally liquidated status.

The calculator is designed for U.S. Importers of Record that imported goods during the 2025–2026 IEEPA tariff period and paid IEEPA duties. Useful inputs include country of origin, estimated import value, duty paid, HTS codes, and access to CF7501 entry summaries. If you only have rough numbers, Price Ridge can start with an eligibility screen and then verify the amount through records.

The most important documents are CF7501 entry summaries, duty payment records, broker invoices, commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading or air waybills. The CF7501 is especially important because it shows the Importer of Record, entry number, port code, HTS subheadings, country of origin, entered value, and duty amount needed for the CAPE Declaration.

Only IEEPA-imposed duties are refundable through this process. Section 301 China tariffs, Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs, antidumping duties, countervailing duties, and standard MFN duties are not included. Price Ridge separates refundable and non-refundable duty lines during the audit so your estimate reflects the actual IEEPA claim amount rather than total customs duties paid.

Price Ridge offers a free, no-obligation eligibility review. Filing engagements are typically contingency-based, meaning there is $0 upfront cost and Price Ridge is paid an agreed percentage only when CBP disburses your refund. For qualifying claims of $500,000 or more, Price Ridge may also discuss outright claim purchase at 75–85¢ on the dollar for immediate cash.

CBP has described Phase 1 unliquidated entry processing as taking roughly 45–90 days after CAPE Declaration acceptance, though queue position matters. Phase 2 finally liquidated entries have no announced processing timeline. Price Ridge helps secure your place in the CBP queue quickly and continues monitoring the claim through review, reliquidation, and refund disbursement.

Yes. Price Ridge coordinates with customs brokers to collect CF7501 entry summaries and supporting records. If your broker relationship ended, records are missing, or the broker only provided summary invoices, Price Ridge can help retrieve import records through CBP importer tools with the proper authorization. Complete documentation helps prevent CAPE Declaration errors and CBP rejection.
