Can DB Schenker handle my IEEPA refund?

DB Schenker may offer limited assistance, but IEEPA protest filing is typically outside standard brokerage services. A dedicated recovery service is the most efficient path to recovering your refund.

I use DB Schenker for European imports — do those qualify?

Yes. EU imports were subject to a 20% IEEPA tariff. All goods imported under IEEPA authority are eligible for refund regardless of country of origin.

How long does DB Schenker take to provide 7501 forms?

Response times vary. Expect 1-3 weeks depending on your account relationship and volume of entries. Start requesting documents now to avoid delays near the filing deadline.

How DB Schenker Imports Were Affected

DB Schenker provides integrated logistics and customs brokerage services to businesses across the U.S. Their customs division processed entries subject to IEEPA tariffs throughout the tariff period. Whether you use Schenker for ocean freight, air cargo, or ground transportation with customs clearance, your entries from April 2025 through February 2026 likely included IEEPA duties that are now refundable.

Getting Your Documents from DB Schenker

Contact DB Schenker's customs brokerage team or your account manager to request CBP Form 7501 entry summaries. Schenker's eSchenker digital platform may have some entry data, but you'll need the official 7501 forms. Be explicit that you're requesting these for IEEPA tariff refund purposes and need all entries from the tariff period.

Why a Recovery Specialist Makes Sense

DB Schenker excels at moving freight and clearing customs in real-time. Retrospective IEEPA protest filing is a different competency. A dedicated recovery service like Tariff Arrow has built systems specifically for identifying IEEPA duties, calculating refund amounts, preparing protests, and filing with CBP — all on contingency with no upfront cost to you.
