The government owes your business money. We get it back for you.
The Supreme Court ruled that billions in tariffs collected from small businesses were illegal. Now the government has to pay it back — but only to businesses that file a claim. We handle everything, on contingency. No upfront cost, no risk.
*No commitment. Just tell us a bit about your business.

The refund is real. The window is short. The process is brutal.
Big firms like Walmart and FedEx have dedicated trade counsel. Most small businesses are on their own — and the clock is ticking.
You paid tariffs that were illegal
In 2025, the government used an emergency law called IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) to impose steep tariffs on imports. In February 2026, the Supreme Court ruled those tariffs unconstitutional. Every dollar you paid is now eligible for a full refund — plus 6% annual interest. Most small businesses have no idea.
The refund isn't automatic
CBP has all your data. They know exactly what you paid. But they're placing the full burden on you to opt in through the CAPE portal. Businesses that don't file will get nothing.
One mistake voids your claim
CAPE Declaration CSV files must be formatted perfectly to CBP spec. If your submission has errors, it gets rejected — and unlike a tax return, you can't amend it after acceptance. You get one shot.
That's exactly what TariffRefundDesk was built for.
We handle the portal setup, data gathering, filing, and follow-up — on contingency.
Everything handled. Nothing left to chance.

“We had no idea we were even owed money until TariffRefundDesk reached out. They handled the entire CAPE filing in under two weeks. Couldn't believe how painless it was.”
Sarah K.
Owner, Seattle Home Goods
“I was dreading this process after reading horror stories about the portal. They handled everything. I didn't touch the government system once — just got a notification when the check was approved.”
Marcus T.
Operations Manager, Chicago Fitness Co.
“Filed in a week, check arrived in 68 days. The interest alone was worth $1,800 extra. If you imported anything in 2025, stop waiting — there's real money sitting there.”
