From MD Chamber of Commerce: Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Tariff Refund Process
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) has opened the door for many U.S. small businesses and importers to seek refunds. We urge effected members to update their CBP importer record (Form 5106) — using their own email, not your broker's, create an ACE Portal account (setup takes 3–4 weeks), enroll in ACH Refund — required for electronic deposits, and check with your broker if any entries fall into exceptions (liquidated entries, drawback claims, open protests, AD/CVD entries). |
