Tariff Refunds & CIT Litigation

Tariff refund analysis starts with the specific entries and their procedural status — not with a headline. We review entries one by one, identify the available administrative or court procedure, and represent importers before CBP and the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT).

Scope of representation

• Entry-by-entry refund assessment
• Review of liquidation and protest history
• IEEPA tariff refund matters
• Administrative claims, post-summary corrections and customs protests
• Litigation before the U.S. Court of International Trade
• Coordination with importers and customs brokers

How a matter proceeds

1. Review the entries. Importer of record, tariff provisions, duties paid, liquidation history, and prior corrections or protests.
2. Check the available procedure. Current government guidance, court orders and each entry’s facts. A news report alone does not establish a particular importer’s refund rights.
3. Agree on the scope. The administrative or litigation work proposed, the documents required, and a written fee arrangement before representation begins.

Timing and fees

Timing depends on the notice, the agency or court, and the facts. Response dates stated in a notice are reviewed individually as soon as we receive it. Scope, fees and any deposit are discussed before we are engaged and confirmed in a written engagement letter.
