Managed tariff refund support for importer teams
Recover Tariff Refunds Without Pulling Your Team Into Process Chaos
Self-submission portals are tools, not strategy. Our AI-guided intake collects what is needed fast, then our experienced attorney-led team runs triage, pathway decisions, filing coordination, and deadline control end-to-end.
No upfront attorney fee (standard contingency model) • Incentive-aligned compensation • Automated intake • Managed filing • Proactive updates • Live portal status
Why this matters now
The Supreme Court held in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump (Feb. 20, 2026) that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, creating large-scale refund and remediation activity. In parallel, tariff actions under other authorities continue to evolve. Importers who run deadline-first workflows are in a stronger position than teams that wait for clarity.

Broker coordination: Structured data requests and status synchronization to keep records submission-ready.
Case patterns we handle (anonymized)
Multi-entry importer with mixed liquidation posture
Built a tiered queue: near-deadline entries first, documentation cleanup in parallel, and attorney escalation only where legal posture required.
Broker data fragmentation across periods
Reconstructed entry records into a filing-ready package map, reducing avoidable rework loops before submission.
Unclear pathway between protest and drawback
Ran entry-level decision tree and split execution by pathway to preserve filing rights while maintaining evidence quality.
What your team does vs what we do
Your team
- Complete intake and provide records access
- Review key legal/financial decisions
- Approve final filing actions
Typical internal effort: focused checkpoints, not full process management.
Our team
- Run triage, pathway decisions, and filing package assembly
- Manage broker/counsel coordination and deadline escalation
- Deliver milestone updates and portal status tracking
Process objective: remove administrative burden while preserving rigor and visibility.
Deadlines can permanently reduce recovery
Filing windows are not uniform across entries. Once specific windows close, available remedies can narrow or disappear. We triage by deadline risk first, then run lower-risk processing work second.
- Clock-risk entries are prioritized first
- Near-final liquidation entries are escalated early
- Document gaps are resolved on a deadline-weighted queue
Frequently asked questions
How does pricing work?
Under our standard contingency model, you pay no upfront attorney fee. Our compensation is tied to funds actually recovered, so incentives stay aligned. The standardized percentage schedule and cost treatment are set in the written engagement agreement.
Why use you if there is a government portal?
Portals accept submissions; they do not run strategy, evidence design, deadline triage, or escalation. Our team handles pathway decisions, filing sequence, broker coordination, and attorney-led legal escalation when needed.
How much time will this take from our internal team?
Most clients spend focused time only on intake, document access, and key approvals. We run the operating workload: deadline tracking, filing preparation, follow-ups, and status management.
What if our broker filed the original entries?
That is common. We coordinate with your broker for entry packets and status data, then package evidence and filing actions in a deadline-first workflow with clear ownership at each step.
How do you handle protest and drawback complexity?
We evaluate each entry individually and route by best-fit pathway (CAPE, protest, drawback, or attorney escalation), then maintain an auditable file trail so the legal and factual basis stays coherent through submission.
Will I know what’s happening after I submit?
Yes. You get milestone email updates and live portal visibility so your team can see what was filed, what is pending, and what action is needed next.
