Identify My IEEPA Refund Eligibility

What We Do & What We Do Not Do

This distinction is legally significant. It defines the scope of the service in terms that align with CBP’s definition of customs business.

What we do

  • Identify IEEPA refund eligibility from your historical ACE entry data
  • Audit customs declarations and flag discrepancies for your broker to review
  • Screen your entry history for drawback eligibility and refer to your licensed broker
  • Provide 6-digit HTS heading suggestions for general tariff research
  • Deliver regulatory alerts: IEEPA, Section 301, Section 232, drawback rule changes
  • Work broker-neutral alongside your existing licensed customs broker
  • Calculate indicative duty rates for general compliance research

What we do not do

  • We do not prepare, file, or submit anything to CBP on your behalf
  • We do not determine or confirm HTS classifications for your entries
  • We do not prepare or file drawback claims
  • We do not act as your customs broker or conduct customs business
  • We do not complete or submit CBP Form 5106 on your behalf
  • We do not instruct your broker on how to classify or enter your goods

How It Works

1

Connect your ACE data

You or your broker securely export your entry summaries from ACE. API integration is available for ongoing monitoring.

2

Audit runs automatically

Our platform cross-references every entry against the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule, USTR Section 301 exclusion lists, FTA preference databases, and antidumping/countervailing duty orders.

3

Findings go to your broker

Broker Action

We surface all flagged entries with supporting documentation — heading-level suggestions, recovery calculations, and tariff justification — to your licensed customs broker for review.

4

Broker files with CBP

Broker Action

Your licensed customs broker determines the correct filing mechanism and files with CBP on your behalf. We do not file anything.

CBP Ruling Validation

HQ H272798
January 2017 — Permissible

CBP assessed the independent auditor model and found it permissible under 19 U.S.C. §1641. The ruling confirmed that post-entry compliance auditing, when performed by an entity that does not prepare, file, or submit entries, does not constitute customs business.

HQ H350722
January 2026 — AI Classification Boundary

CBP assessed the use of AI in tariff classification and established that providing 6-digit HTS heading suggestions for general research is permissible, while 10-digit classification for a specific entry constitutes customs business requiring a licensed broker.
