Free Audit. 5% Filing Fee. Held in Escrow.

The audit costs you nothing. You only ever pay 5% of the refund we actually recover — and even that sits in escrow with BDO until your money arrives.

1

Free Audit

We analyze your entries and deliver a full refund breakdown in 24–48 hours. No cost, no credit card, no commitment.

2

You File With Us

If you choose to proceed, our fee is just 5% of your refund — deposited into BDO escrow, not paid to TariffBack.

3

You Get Paid

Your refund arrives (60–90 days). Only then is our 5% released from escrow. You keep 95% — and risk nothing.

Why this protects you

The audit is free, so you see exactly what you're owed before paying anything. Our 5% filing fee is held in escrow by BDO, one of the world's leading audit and advisory networks, and released only once your refund lands — so we're never paid before you are.

How CBP Pays Your Refund

All IEEPA refunds are paid electronically by U.S. Customs and Border Protection — directly into your US bank account via ACH transfer.

📋

1. CAPE Filing

Your refund claim is submitted through CBP's CAPE portal in ACE as a CSV of eligible entry numbers. CBP runs a two-round validation on each entry.

2. CBP Approval

CBP reviews and approves each claim line. Approved entries are queued for payment. Both the principal duty amount and accrued interest are included in your refund.

🏦

3. US Bank Account Required

CBP issues all refunds via ACH to a US bank account on file in your ACE Portal profile. Paper checks are not issued. If your ACH enrollment is missing or incorrect, CBP places the payment in reject status until resolved.

💸

4. ACH Transfer

Once approved, funds hit your bank account within 60–90 days of filing. Refunds started going out as early as May 12, 2026 — some importers have already received payment.

⚠️

A common reason refunds get stuck: missing or outdated ACH bank info in ACE. Before filing, your ACE profile must have a valid US bank account enrolled for refunds. We verify this as part of every audit — so your payment goes through the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will this cost?

+
The audit is completely free. If you decide to file with us, our fee is just 5% of the refund we actually recover for you — and even that is held in escrow by BDO and released only once your CBP refund arrives. You keep 95%, and you risk nothing.

What is the escrow process?

+
After your free audit, if you choose to file, our 5% fee is committed to a BDO escrow account (not paid to TariffBack). BDO holds it until your CBP refund is processed. Once your refund arrives, BDO releases the 5% to us and you keep the rest. We're never paid before you are.

Can I get my money back from escrow if I change my mind?

+
Yes. The audit is free and carries no obligation. The 5% fee is only committed to escrow if you decide to file with us, and it's released to us solely when your refund arrives. See our service agreement for full details.

Do you need my actual tariff data?

+
We need read-only access to your ACE account. You control the access via the CBP system — you can revoke it anytime. We never download or store your data on our servers.

What if I'm not ACE registered yet?

+
We help. Most companies complete ACE registration in 1–2 weeks with our guidance. Or, if you prefer, we can give you a quick preliminary estimate first — free and with no obligation.

What's the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2?

+
Phase 1 (80 days from entry liquidation): File via CBP CAPE portal — straightforward, 60–90 day refund processing. Phase 2 (after 80 days): Requires formal CBP protest — complex, longer timeline. Our audit tells you exactly which path applies to each entry.

How long does filing take?

+
The CAPE filing itself takes 1–2 weeks. CBP then processes refunds in 60–90 days. Phase 2 protests take longer (depends on CBP workload).

Will BDO escrow charge me fees?

+
No. There's nothing extra to pay — the audit is free and our only charge is the 5% filing fee, which already covers the BDO escrow arrangement.

What if you find $0 refund?

+
Then you pay nothing. The audit is free, and our 5% fee only ever applies to money we actually recover. No refund, no fee.

Can I see a sample audit before committing?

+
Yes. We provide a real, anonymized audit sample on this page. Every audit follows the same format — 100% reconciled, entry-by-entry breakdown, Phase 1 vs Phase 2 split.
