About Tariff Relief Partners
We exist to make sure mid-market importers don't leave money on the table.
The problem we solve
Between February 2025 and February 2026, U.S. importers paid an estimated $166 billion in tariffs that the Supreme Court has now ruled unlawful. Most importers will never see that money back. Not because they don't qualify — but because they don't know they have to file, or they wait too long, or they assume their customs broker is handling it.
Refunds are not automatic. Every entry has its own filing window. Once the window closes, the recovery is gone permanently.
Who we're built for
Large importers (Fortune 500, $100M+ in annual import volume) already have trade-law firms working their case. We're not built for them — they're well covered.
Small importers (under $1M annually) often don't have enough recovery to justify a specialized firm's involvement.
We're built for mid-market importers — businesses with $3M+ in annual imports (or $1.5M+ if importing primarily from China, where IEEPA rates spiked as high as 145%). Most qualifying clients have $300,000+ in recoverable IEEPA tariff exposure. Big enough to have meaningful recoveries (often six to seven figures). Small enough to need a partner that prioritizes them.
How we're different
A real law firm doing the work
Recovery is performed by our partner — a multi-state tax and trade law firm with attorneys admitted to the U.S. Court of International Trade, licensed customs brokers, CPAs, and tax attorneys in-house. Not a consulting firm. Not a customs broker bolting on a side service. A law firm that does this every day.
Contingency-only
You pay nothing upfront. The fee is a percentage of recovered amounts. If nothing is recovered, the importer owes nothing. No retainer. No hourly billing. No surprises.
Multi-channel filing
Different entries call for different recovery paths. The firm evaluates each entry individually and pursues the optimal path — ACE/CAPE submission once that channel opens for general filing, §1514 protest, or CIT action — based on liquidation status, volume, and timing.
The clock is real
The §1514 protest window is 180 days from each entry's liquidation. Every week matters. We move fast on intake so the firm can preserve every recoverable entry — the cost of a missed deadline is a permanent loss.
How we work together
Tariff Relief Partners is a referral and intake organization. Our role is to identify importers who may be eligible, run a free 15-minute screening call, and — if you look like a fit — make a warm introduction directly to our partner firm. The firm runs the actual recovery: ACE registration, entry reconciliation, refund computation, audit file prep, compliance review, protest filings, CIT litigation, and refund-offset defense.
We're partners with the importers we work for — and partners with their existing customs brokers. We don't replace anyone. We add a focused recovery layer to your existing trade operations.
