Three paths. One goal:
Help you recover IEEPA tariff overpayments.
Following the Supreme Court decision on IEEPA tariffs, refunds may be issued through several possible channels—ranging from automatic CBP refunds to claims, PSCs, protests, or court-driven processes. The exact mechanism is still developing, but importers who get organized early are best positioned.
That’s why we offer a free, low-friction way to get started—and a financing option if the recovery becomes complex.
Path 1
If refunds are “easy” → we help you for free
Register for free. If refunds are issued broadly, you pay nothing. If CBP (or another authority) implements a straightforward refund approach—such as automatic refunds based on entry data, or a standard administrative claims process—we will assist you at no cost.
Cost: $0
When you pay: You don’t—if the process is broadly available and relatively administrative.
What you get (Free Support):
-
Free Entry Scan (IEEPA Exposure Check)We help you identify which entries paid IEEPA tariffs and estimate potential recovery using broker/ACE data and entry documents.
-
Free Documentation Pack (Refund-Ready File)We help you organize the records typically needed for a refund (entry summaries, invoices, packing lists, shipment documents).
-
Free Deadline & Status Map We help you understand the liquidation status of entries and highlight any approaching timelines that may matter (e.g., liquidation/protest windows), so you can act early if needed.
Path 2
If refunds are “hard” → we can finance your recovery on a ‘no-win, no-fee’ basis
If it turns into PSCs, protests, litigation, or a court-ordered process, we can fund it.
If refund recovery requires more intensive steps—such as post-summary corrections (PSCs), formal protests, or court proceedings—we can offer claim financing so your company doesn’t have to carry the legal and procedural costs upfront.
-
What financing can cover (depending on structure): - Trade counsel and filing work (PSCs / protests / required submissions)
- Court-related steps if necessary
- Data extraction, expert support, and ongoing claim management
-
How it works (simple version): - You register and we assess complexity.
- If it’s straightforward → free help (Path 1).
- If it’s complex → we propose a financing term sheet tailored to your entries and recovery route.
- If recovery succeeds, we are repaid from proceeds based on agreed terms.
Path 3
If you need immediate liquidity → we can monetize your claims for a percentage of their future value.
If you aren’t willing to wait for the refund process, we can also monetize your claims within a few weeks. This means the right to the refund is transferred to LitFin, and you receive immediate liquidity in return.
How it works (simple version):
- You register and we assess complexity.
- If it’s straightforward → free help (Path 1).
- If it’s complex and you need the money fast → we give you an offer for an immediate payout.
What we need from you to start (minimal)
- 1. Importer of Record details (company + EIN)
- 2. Your customs broker contact (or ACE export)
- 3. A sample set of entry summaries/invoices (we’ll tell you exactly what to pull)
