Client program overview

Your business paid too much. We're getting it back.

The Supreme Court ruled in February 2026 that IEEPA tariffs imposed on U.S. imports were unconstitutional. If your company paid these tariffs between February 2025 and February 2026, you are legally entitled to a refund. Opscale Exchange connects you with Thompson Coburn LLP — a top 100 U.S. law firm filing these claims at scale.

Why this isn't a DIY process

You need an attorney to maximize your refund

This is not filing a protest form. The IEEPA refund process involves federal trade litigation at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP's CAPE refund system, and precise Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code review.

The difference between a denied claim and a full refund usually comes down to HTS classification. Misclassified codes are the single largest reason refunds get reduced or rejected.

First step is always free. Thompson Coburn reviews your import history and confirms eligibility before any fee is due. No qualification, no cost.
1

HTS code expertise

Trade attorneys identify and correct misclassifications that would otherwise reduce or eliminate your refund.

2

Front of the refund line

Filing litigation at the CIT puts your claim on a prioritized legal track ahead of the administrative CAPE backlog.

3

Complete import review

Attorneys surface every eligible entry across your full import history, not just the obvious categories.

4

ACE account compliance

Properly structured ACE portal and ACH refund setup is required. Attorneys handle it end-to-end.

What's at stake for your business
✓
Imports between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026 from China, Canada, Mexico, Vietnam, India, Brazil, or other reciprocal-tariff countries likely qualify for refund.
✓
Businesses that paid $100K+ in IEEPA tariffs typically see meaningful five- and six-figure recoveries — some significantly more depending on import volume.
✓
Protest deadlines are running. Each customs entry has a 180-day protest window from liquidation. Entries that pass without action may require CIT filings to preserve recovery rights.
✓
No refund means no success fee. The 20% contingency is paid only when money is delivered. You never pay out of pocket for a failed claim.
✓
Third-party factoring available. For qualified claims, advance financing options can deliver cash within approximately 30 days of filing for a set fee.
