What are IEEPA tariffs and why were they ruled unlawful?

IEEPA tariffs were emergency import duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in February 2025. The Supreme Court ruled these tariffs unlawful because IEEPA was designed for financial sanctions, not trade regulation. Importers who paid duties under this executive order are entitled to file for a refund through CBP.

How do I calculate my IEEPA tariff refund?

Upload your CBP 7501 entry summaries or customs invoices to RefundAssist. The tool isolates IEEPA-specific duty lines from your entries and calculates the total refundable amount. You can upload PDF, CSV, or Excel files for automatic parsing.

What is the 180-day protest window for IEEPA duty refunds?

After CBP liquidates an entry, importers have exactly 180 days to file a protest under 19 USC 1514. If you miss this window, you lose your right to recover the overpaid duties. RefundAssist tracks per-entry deadlines and sends alerts at 60, 30, 14, and 7 days before each deadline.

What documents do I need to file a CBP protest for IEEPA duties?

You need a Post-Summary Correction (PSC) or CBP Form 19 Protest filing. RefundAssist generates pre-filled documents from your entry data, ready for electronic or paper submission to CBP. You will also need your original entry summaries and proof of duty payment.
