Watch this important message — it could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to your business.
The Government Owes Your Business Money — And the Clock Is Ticking
The Supreme Court ruled those tariffs you paid were illegal. The US Treasury is sitting on $166 billion of importers' money. Your business could be owed tens of thousands — or more — right now.
This money never has to be paid back. But the government won't send you a check. You have to claim it — and our licensed customs brokers do it for you.

The Supreme Court Said Those Tariffs Were Illegal
On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a landmark 6-3 ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, striking down the IEEPA-based tariffs as unconstitutional. The Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorize the President to impose these sweeping import duties.
This means every dollar your business paid in IEEPA tariffs — on goods from China or other countries — was collected illegally. The US Treasury is now required to return those funds through the CAPE (Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries) refund system, launched by US Customs and Border Protection on April 20, 2026.
But here's the critical detail: the government will not proactively send you a refund. You must file a formal CAPE Declaration through the ACE Portal — and the process has strict deadlines and technical requirements that most business owners are not equipped to handle alone.

I was skeptical at first — I thought this was too good to be true. But these are licensed customs brokers working through the official CBP system. My refund hit my account 72 days after filing.

Why You Cannot Wait on This
The 80-Day Phase 1 Window
Phase 1 of the CAPE process only covers entries within 80 days of liquidation. Once that window closes, those entries require a formal protest — a more complex and time-consuming process.
The 180-Day Protest Deadline
The protest deadline is 180 days from the date of liquidation — non-waivable. If you miss it, your refund claim for that entry is permanently forfeited.
Large Corporations Are Moving Fast
Fortune 500 importers have teams of customs attorneys and brokers already filing. The $166 billion pool is finite. Small businesses that wait may find the funds already claimed.
This is not a gimmick. This is federal law.
If you miss the deadline or the funds run out before your claim is submitted, you could lose everything that's legally owed to you. Don't risk it.
