CAPE refund program · no advance fees
The tariffs were ruled illegal.
Your money is sitting in the U.S. Treasury.
We handle ACH enrollment in CBP’s ACE portal, CAPE data prep, and licensed broker filing — so Treasury can ACH the refund directly to you. Zero upfront cost.
Filed by CBP-licensed broker partner · Treasury pays you directly · FASB ASC 450-30 audit-ready
Why now
$166 billion in IEEPA duties collected from U.S. importers (2022–2026), eligible for recovery.
The Supreme Court ruled IEEPA tariffs illegal. CBP opened CAPE April 20. Phase 2 (reconciliation entries — roughly $28.7B) opened June 29, and Phase 3 arrives late July. Most eligible importers still haven’t filed.
Upload your ES-003
Drop the file you already pull from ACE. We group by importer, run ACH enrollment, and validate every entry.
Licensed broker files
Your CBP-licensed broker partner reviews and uploads the CAPE declaration under their license per 19 CFR Part 111.
Treasury refunds you directly
CBP ACHs the refund straight into your own bank account. No fee unless you get paid.
Legitimacy · CBP warns about scam solicitors
Why this is legitimate — and how it actually works
CBP has publicly warned importers about fraudulent refund solicitations. Every claim below is verifiable — each cites the specific law, ruling, or published document your counsel can independently confirm.
A licensed CBP customs broker files — not us
Tariffi is a data-preparation platform. Your CAPE declaration is filed by a CBP-licensed customs broker partner under their own broker license per 19 CFR Part 111. They are the Filer of Record. We never touch CBP's ACE portal.

Treasury pays you directly — we're never in the money path
CBP deposits the refund by ACH straight into your own bank account. Tariffi does not hold, receive, or route your refund proceeds. We collect only our authorized contingency fee after it lands — by invoice or pre-authorized ACH debit — as set out in your signed agreement.
CBP ACH direct-deposit · no FBO / escrow / clearing account
Zero upfront fees — contingency only
No retainer. No deposit. No advance charges of any kind. If CBP denies your claim, you owe us nothing. Contingency fee tiers (10% / 15% / 18%) are disclosed in full before you sign, as required by federal law.

AES-256 encryption · 7-year audit retention
Your ES-003 and company data are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Access is role-scoped with full audit logging. Records are retained for 7 years per federal customs-records law.
