If you’ve been waiting for CBP to take a look at your entries as an importer and issue a refund as per the IEEPA tariffs that were struck down by the Supreme Court, or are thinking of getting started on the process, a new development may mean that your work may have just gotten easier, and the certainty of a refund is closer than ever. As per the CBP a few months ago, it was reported that finally liquidated entries were ineligible for refunds unless the importer filed a protective protest or an individual lawsuit at the Court of Internation Trade.
A group of importers have come forward an initiated a class action lawsuit filed at the Court of International trade that covers all importers who paid IEEPA duties and whose claims are not eligible for processing via CAPE. If this class action is certified, the landscape of the IEEPA refund process could permanently be altered in a net positive manner for you, since you may be able to join tens of thousands of importers and recover funds via a single lawsuit compared to forming an administrative bottleneck via the CAPE system. The class action is dynamic and changing with each passing days, and the outlook, for once since the beginning of the IEEPA tariff process, is a positive one – read on to find out more.

Here’s What This IEEPA Refund Class Action Could Mean
- The class action could effectively eliminate the need for tens of thousands of importers to file individual lawsuits as well as lower the cost of complex individual litigation to a negligible amount, which streamlines the recovery process.
- The path to recovery may be faster and more certain than waiting for the different phases of the CAPE system which has no firm timeline or guarantee of coverage. This certainty is a great boon, and it would signal the end of the back and forth between you and the CBP.
- The class action would also create a precedent whereby if successful, it could establish that importers with finally liquidated entries are entitled to refunds regardless of whether or not they filed individual actions.
