Do both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce retailers qualify?

Yes. Any business that was the importer of record on entries subject to IEEPA tariffs qualifies, regardless of their sales channel.

What if we used a third-party importer?

The refund goes to the importer of record. If a trading company or third party was the importer of record, they would need to file the claim. Check your purchase agreements and entry documents.

Can we recover tariffs on goods already sold?

Yes. The refund is based on duties paid at import, regardless of whether the goods have been sold, consumed, or are still in inventory.

The Retail Tariff Impact

Retailers importing consumer goods bore a massive tariff burden. IEEPA tariffs raised costs on everything from electronics and apparel to home goods and toys. Many retailers either absorbed the costs (reducing margins) or passed them to consumers (reducing sales). The Supreme Court ruling means those excess costs can be recovered.

High-Volume Importers Benefit Most

Retailers with regular import programs — weekly or monthly shipments — often have the largest cumulative refunds. Even at moderate tariff rates, the volume of entries over 10+ months adds up to significant amounts. A retailer importing $200,000/month in goods at a 20% IEEPA rate paid $400,000+ in recoverable tariffs.

Seasonal and Holiday Inventory

Retailers who stocked up for the 2025 holiday season were especially impacted, importing higher volumes during the peak tariff period. Those larger-than-usual entries mean larger-than-usual refunds. Check your Q3-Q4 2025 import records for potentially significant recovery amounts.
