Frequently asked questions
- Which industries are most affected by IEEPA tariffs?
- Electronics, automotive, industrial machinery, and steel/aluminum are among the sectors with the largest estimated IEEPA duties paid (modeled from import values; not CBP figures). Virtually every industry importing goods subject to IEEPA reciprocal duties may have overpayments eligible for CAPE recovery. (Section 301 duties are a separate statute recovered through other channels, not CAPE.)
- How do I know if my industry qualifies for a tariff refund?
- If you import goods classified under HTS chapters subject to IEEPA reciprocal tariffs (HTS 9903.02), your entries may qualify for CAPE refund recovery. Upload your ACE ES-003 export to Tariffi for an automated eligibility analysis at no cost.
- What is the typical refund amount by industry?
- Refund amounts vary widely by industry and entry volume. High-duty sectors like apparel (10–33%) and steel (10–25%) tend to yield larger per-entry refunds. Tariffi analyzes your specific entries to calculate your exact recovery potential.
- Does Tariffi handle industry-specific compliance requirements?
- Yes. Tariffi's data preparation accounts for industry-specific HTS classifications, duty rates, and CAPE eligibility rules. Your licensed customs broker partner reviews all classifications before filing per 19 CFR Part 111.
- How long does industry-specific tariff recovery take?
- The CAPE declaration process is the same across industries. Most importers see refunds within 60–90 days of a successful filing. Complex entries with multiple HTS classifications may require additional broker review time.
