The financial burden of unlawful tariffs has strained many businesses, but navigating the federal claims process shouldn’t make things more difficult.

Let the tariff refund lawyers from the Dayes Law Firm evaluate the exact tariff refund amount your business is owed and create a step-by-step plan for recovery.

Instead of having to navigate the confusing tariff refund system alone, you will have specialists fighting for your maximum recovery.
The tariff refund process is the legal pathway used by businesses to recover funds unlawfully collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). This process became necessary after the Supreme Court ruled that sweeping Trump tariffs were unconstitutional, meaning businesses that paid these duties are legally entitled to seek restitution.
There are significant challenges with relying on the government to issue a tariff refund check voluntarily. The process can take months or even years, often resulting in frustrating delays that keep businesses from recovering their capital in a timely manner. There will be a need for detailed documentation and legal filings which increase the complexity for importers. Business operations can be affected as a result of the long legal fight. One of the largest downsides is that the government will contest every claim, rather than automatically returning the billions of dollars in tarrif refunds that were unlawfully taken.
For these reasons and others, many businesses nationwide work with our tariff refund attorneys to navigate the system effectively. This is possible when using experienced specialists who understand the U.S. Court of International Trade. Even with preparation, legal hurdles cannot be avoided, and our lawyers are here to help.

The unfortunate reality surrounding the latest tariff refund news is that government delays and disputes are a common occurrence, and business finances can be strained as a result. These claims can involve a wide range of complex issues, but our tariff refund attorneys nationwide can assist with both customs compliance and federal litigation.
One of the most heavily impacted sectors seeking a Trump tariff refund is the manufacturing and construction industry. There are strict requirements that apply to businesses seeking to recover the elevated costs of steel, aluminum, copper, and lumber. These tariff refund claims might also be due to the massive cost increases on imported auto parts or medical equipment. In some cases, manufacturers absorbed these costs entirely, making their right to a full tarriff refund incredibly strong.
Retail importing is an industry that relies heavily on foreign supply chains to stock consumer goods. There are very specific rules and laws that govern how their tariff refunds will be processed when filing claims. The laws that govern customs protests are complicated and can lead to confusion on how the funds are to be distributed. Our tariff refund lawyers have experience navigating the various rules and procedures that are involved with import documentation.
Financial damage is not limited to manufacturing and retail. Farmers and restaurant owners might also raise issues involving tariffs, which played a major role in inflating the cost of equipment and ingredients. Agricultural disputes often center on the rising costs of imported machinery, chemicals, and the devastating impact of retaliatory tariffs on exports.
U.S. importers and distributors are among the businesses most directly entitled to a Trump tariff refund, as they were the parties of record who paid duties at the port of entry. There are very specific legal rules that govern how their tariff refund claims must be filed and documented. The tariff refund process for importers is complicated and can lead to confusion on how recovered funds are to be distributed. Our tariff refund lawyers have experience representing importers and distributors of all sizes nationwide.
Small business owners have been disproportionately crushed by unlawful IEEPA tariffs, paying an average of over $151,000 each in additional duties with far less ability to absorb those costs than large corporations. There are very specific tariff refund rights that apply to small businesses, and many owners are unaware they may be entitled to significant recovery. The tariff refund system can be especially overwhelming for small business owners operating on thin margins. Our tariff refund attorneys and specialists are here to level the playing field and fight for every dollar your business is owed.
An IEEPA tariff refund is the recovery of duties that were unlawfully collected from U.S. importers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that IEEPA did not grant the President the authority to impose tariffs. As a result, any business that paid these duties is now legally entitled to claim a refund of those unlawfully collected payments, plus interest.
If your business imported goods into the United States between February 2025 and February 2026 and paid duties under the IEEPA tariff orders, you are likely eligible to file a tariff refund claim. This includes manufacturers, retailers, construction companies, agricultural businesses, and any other importer of record who paid these duties at the port of entry. The best way to confirm your eligibility and calculate your potential refund amount is to speak with an experienced tariff refund attorney.
The total pool of unlawfully collected IEEPA tariffs is estimated at up to $175 billion, according to the Penn Wharton Budget Model. The amount your individual business can recover depends on the volume of imports you made, the tariff rates applied to your goods, and the liquidation status of your entries. Small business importers paid an average of more than $151,000 each in additional unlawful tariffs. Our tariff refund lawyers can review your import records and provide you with an estimate of your potential recovery.
Time is critical. Importers generally have 180 days after their goods are “liquidated” by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to file a protest and request a refund. Because liquidation dates vary by shipment, some deadlines may already be approaching. Additionally, the Court of International Trade has noted that interest accrues at approximately $650 million per month on the total refund pool, meaning delays cost everyone. We strongly recommend contacting a tariff refund lawyer as soon as possible to protect your claim.
