Opportunity BasketTariff Refund Claims Triage & Eligibility Routing Service
A specialized claims-processing boutique that acts as a licensed customs broker intermediary. It ingests importer company data (entry records, tariff classifications, payment history), runs it through a proprietary eligibility matrix built from CBP ruling precedent and legal case law, and routes qualified claims to the appropriate CBP office with complete banking/ACH documentation pre-filled and validated. Handles the entire banking-information bottleneck by acting as the single point of contact between importer and CBP settlement rails.
44 weeks • 70% confidence
Value Proposition
Eliminates 6–12 month delays by removing the banking-data processing bottleneck entirely—the service pre-validates and pre-submits, so CBP's certified funds flow within 30–45 days instead of languishing. Importers pay only for claims that actually clear, not for failed attempts. Beats DIY because it combines legal eligibility vetting (90% of stuck claims fail due to misclassification or ineligible entry type) with CBP submission expertise that most importers lack.
Target Audience
Mid-market importers ($10M–$500M annual import spend) and trade finance consultants who advise them; companies with 50+ tariff entries stuck in limbo
Key Features
- Proprietary eligibility matrix trained on 5+ years of CBP ruling data and litigation outcomes
- Automated ACH/banking data validation and standardization (catches the $1B bottleneck before submission)
- Claim bundling by CBP office and entry type to reduce submission friction
- And more, with full implementation detail...

Importers unable to claim entitled tariff refunds due to banking information bottlenecks and legal eligibility gapsUS importers have $127.7 billion in certified unlawful tariff refunds available, but a nearly $1 billion banking-information processing bottleneck and fragmented legal eligibility rules prevent many from actually receiving their money. Companies don't know if they qualify, how to navigate the complex certification process, or when they'll get paid, leaving legitimate refund claims stuck in limbo despite CBP having the funds certified and ready.
