Most US importers overpay tariffs without knowing it — especially on goods from China. DrawbackHQ finds the overpayment and recovers your cash. Zero cost until you're paid.
Enter your company name and email. We'll analyze your imports and tell you exactly what you're owed.
Free. No commitment. Results in 48 hours.
With 2025 tariffs on Chinese goods up to 145% — and hundreds of active exclusions most importers don't know about — the average missed refund is $40,000+
We do the work. You sign one form and wait for your check.
That's it. We pull your publicly available import records and run them against every available exclusion and refund program.
Within 48 hours you receive a specific dollar estimate — exactly which shipments were overpaid and by how much.
A standard one-page authorization (CBP Form 5291) gives us permission to access your entry records and file your claim.
CBP issues your refund — 3–6 weeks for exclusion claims, 3–6 months for drawback. We take our commission only after you're paid.
Most importers don't know these refund programs exist. We find all four — including the newest opportunity from last week's Supreme Court ruling.
The Supreme Court struck down Trump's IEEPA tariffs on Feb 20, 2026 — ruling them unconstitutional. Importers who paid these reciprocal tariffs in 2025–2026 have 180 days to file a protest and claim refunds. Estimated total refunds: up to 75 billion.
Hundreds of products imported from China have active tariff exclusions — meaning you should have paid 0% instead of 25%+. If you missed these exclusions, the overpayment is fully refundable.
If you import goods and then export, manufacture for export, or re-export — you're entitled to a refund of up to 99% of all duties paid. Most eligible companies never file.
Under USMCA, KORUS, and other FTAs, thousands of products qualify for 0% duty. If your broker filed at the standard rate instead of claiming FTA treatment, you're owed the difference.
We built DrawbackHQ because we lived this problem ourselves. As a small business importing physical goods, every tariff increase hit our cash flow directly. When the 2025 tariff changes landed, we scrambled — and discovered something that changed everything: a significant portion of what we'd paid was legally refundable.
Our customs broker never told us. Nobody did. We had to figure it out ourselves. Now we find it for other importers — before they even know to look. You overpaid the government. Let's get it back.
We don't wait for you to find us. Our system identifies the overpayment before you sign anything — so you know exactly what's at stake.
We earn nothing until your refund hits. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover — fully aligned with your outcome.
A single one-page authorization is all you sign. We handle the data pull, claim calculation, filing, and follow-up.
Section 301 exclusion refunds typically process in 3–6 weeks. Duty drawback takes 3–6 months. We tell you exactly what to expect — and pursue the fastest path first.
Free audit. No commitment. We'll tell you exactly how much — before you sign anything.
We cross-reference your publicly available shipment records with the complete list of active Section 301 exclusions, trade agreement eligibility, and drawback qualification criteria. If there's a mismatch — you overpaid.
Nothing upfront. We charge a percentage of the refund we recover for you. If we don't find anything, you owe us nothing.
No. We work alongside your existing broker. All we need is a standard one-page authorization form (CBP Form 5291) to access your entry records.
For duty drawback, up to 5 years. For Section 301 exclusion refunds, the window depends on the entry's liquidation status — typically 16.5 months. We check each entry individually.
It depends on the claim type. Section 301 exclusion refunds and IEEPA protest claims typically process in 3–6 weeks. Duty drawback takes 3–6 months due to the more complex filing process. We always pursue the fastest eligible path first, and we'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
Any US company that imports goods from China, Canada, Mexico, Korea, or other countries with active trade agreements. Manufacturing companies that also export are especially likely to qualify for multiple programs.
