Already Filed an IEEPA Tariff Refund Claim?
Review Your Next Steps
Before assuming your tariff refund claim is complete, consider whether every filing phase has been addressed. Each phase requires its own filing, and eligible amounts may have been missed in Phase 1.
Already Filed? Here's What to Review Next
This page is designed for businesses that have already submitted a tariff refund claim and want to determine whether additional review or filing opportunities may still exist.
I Received a Phase 1 Refund
Receiving a Phase 1 refund does not always mean every eligible filing phase has been completed.
I've Already Submitted My Tariff Refund Claim
If your filing has already been submitted, it may still be beneficial to review whether additional filing opportunities remain.
I'm Not Sure Every Filing Phase Was Completed
If you're uncertain whether every eligible filing phase has been addressed, this page will help you understand what to review next.
Has Every Filing Phase Been Addressed?
Each phase requires its own filing. Receiving a Phase 1 refund does not necessarily complete the tariff refund claim process.
Did You Receive All Your Money In Phase 1?
Receiving a refund does not necessarily confirm that every eligible entry or amount was included. A tariff refund claim review can identify whether eligible amounts were missed.
Did You File Phase 2?
Each phase requires its own filing. Completing Phase 1 does not automatically complete Phase 2. A separate filing must be submitted for Phase 2 tariff refund opportunities.
Are You Prepared For Phase 3?
Eligible importers must take the required action for each applicable filing phase separately. Phase 3 requires its own filing to pursue additional tariff refund opportunities.
Tariff Refund Agency can assist with tariff refund claim filings across all three phases and review Phase 1 to help determine whether eligible amounts may have been missed.
Each Filing Phase Is A Separate Action

Why Additional Tariff Refund Opportunities Are Sometimes Missed
Receiving an initial refund does not always mean every eligible filing opportunity has been addressed.
Separate Filing Phases
Some tariff refund situations require more than one filing phase.
Eligible Entries Overlooked
Businesses importing regularly may have eligible entries requiring separate review.
Supporting Documentation
Additional documentation may help support other eligible filing opportunities.
Independent Review
A review of an existing filing may identify additional eligible tariff refund opportunities.

Importers who already filed a tariff refund claim and are waiting for government payment may qualify for advance funding through the applicable Tariff Refund Agency resources.

Common Questions After Filing
Many importers have questions after submitting a tariff refund claim. Here are clarifications to common concerns.
I already received a refund, so my claim must be complete.
Not necessarily. Receiving a Phase 1 refund does not automatically confirm every eligible filing phase or customs entry has been reviewed.
My customs broker already handled my filing.
That's common. Tariff Refund Agency works alongside your existing customs broker and can review whether additional filing opportunities may still exist.
My attorney already filed everything.
Depending on the filing strategy and eligible entries involved, additional filing phases may still require separate review.
I don't know what Phase 2 or Phase 3 means.
Certain tariff refund situations require separate filing phases. Tariff Refund Agency can explain how the filing process applies to your specific situation.
Audit your existing tariff refund claim to determine whether all eligible phases have been filed and whether any eligible amounts were missed in Phase 1.
