Toronto · serving importers in Canada, the US, and abroad

The tariffs are gone. Your money isn’t back.

The US Supreme Court struck down the 2025 IEEPA tariffs — $166 billion is being refunded to importers. Canada rescinded its 25% counter-tariffs and granted retroactive refunds by remission order. Most of that money is still sitting with the governments. We find what you’re owed and get it delivered. Flat fees, invoiced when the money lands.

Services

Two problems nobody else is working on.

The generic refund-filing market is crowded. These two situations aren’t — they require fixing the actual mechanics, not filing a form.

For non-resident importers of record — Canadian and overseas

Stuck-refund delivery

CBP approved your refund. It never arrived. US Customs disburses refunds only by ACH to a US bank account on your ACE importer file. If your company imported into the US as a foreign importer of record and doesn’t have that banking record in place, your refund validates in the CAPE system — then sits, indefinitely, without interest.

We get it moving: correct the ACE banking record, set up a compliant US receiving account through your bank’s US arm where needed, and structure the Form 4811 designation so payment can actually route to you.

For Canadian importers of US goods

Surtax remission audit

You paid Canada’s 25% counter-tariff between March and September 2025. The surtaxes were dropped — and a lattice of remission orders makes much of what you already paid refundable, retroactively. But nothing is automatic: each refund must be claimed, entry by entry, as a B2 adjustment with the right remission order and reason code, within two years of the import date.

We audit your 2025 commercial import declarations against every applicable remission order, quantify the claim, and file the adjustments. CBSA’s processing standard is 90 days.

CAD $1,500 audit + 10% of recovery
  • Audit quantifies your full claimable amount, entry by entry
  • 10% applies only to duty actually refunded to you
  • Typical mid-size claims run five to six figures

How it works

Three steps. Your team spends about an hour.

01

Exposure check

A 20-minute call plus your import records — CBP 7501s or your ACE data for US refunds; B3s or CARM statements for Canadian surtax. We tell you what you’re owed and whether it’s worth pursuing. Free, and we’ll say so if it isn’t.

02

We fix and file

Banking record and disbursement mechanics on the US side; remission-order audit and B2 adjustments on the Canadian side. You approve everything before it’s submitted.

03

Money lands, then we invoice

The refund goes to your account, not ours. We bill the flat fee or contingency after you’ve been paid.

Deadlines

Every dollar is on a clock.

None of these refunds waits for you. The claims expire, the court could narrow eligibility, and unclaimed money stays with the government.

Rolling — two years from each 2025 import
Canadian remission claims expire entry by entry. Goods imported in March 2025 must be claimed by March 2027; every later entry has its own deadline. An audit now covers the whole year while all of it is still claimable.
Pending — Federal Circuit appeal
The US government is appealing to limit refunds on finally liquidated entries to importers who filed protective court cases. If it wins, importers who waited lose that slice permanently. Approved-but-undelivered refunds should be moved before the ruling, not after.
Draining now — $71B already out
CBP has accepted $104 billion for processing and transmitted $71 billion to Treasury as of its July 1 progress report. The refunds are moving for importers whose paperwork is in order — and paid without interest, so every month a stuck refund sits is real carrying cost.

Questions

Straight answers.

Are you a law firm or customs broker?

No, and for these two problems you don’t need one. Fixing an ACE banking record, structuring a Form 4811, and filing B2 remission adjustments are administrative mechanics. Where a matter does need licensed counsel or a broker — a protest, a protective court filing, a contested classification — we say so and work alongside yours, or refer you to one we trust.

How do I know this isn’t a refund-mill pitch?

Check the primary sources yourself: CBP’s CAPE refund notices, the Federal Register, and Canada’s remission orders with CBSA Customs Notices 26-07 and 26-10 are all public. We’ll walk you through exactly which order and reason code applies to your entries before you commit to anything. And the fee structure means we only get paid when you do.

What if my broker already handles this?

Ask them two questions: has your approved US refund actually been disbursed to your account, and have they filed B2 remission claims for your 2025 surtax entries? If both answers are yes, you don’t need us — genuinely. In our experience the first answer is usually “it’s in process” (meaning stuck) and the second is “what remission claims?”

What does the free exposure check involve?

A short call and read-only access to your import paperwork. We quantify what’s recoverable, name the mechanism, and give you the number in writing. If it’s too small to bother with, or your situation doesn’t fit, we tell you that and you owe nothing.
