We work closely with a team of former CBP auditors to ensure your rights are protected and your refund maximized.
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Client files are stored in access-controlled, US-based cloud infrastructure with role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication required for all team accounts. We never share, sell, or use your import data for any purpose outside your engagement, and our consulting services agreement and NDA contractually bind us to confidentiality.
Trade Professionals pay $0.35 per unique entry line. Once you’ve been billed $3,500 for a given importer, all future lines for that importer are free. Exports and CAPE preparation are unlimited. There are no platform fees, seat fees, or minimums, and volume discounts are available at scale.
Most of what we need comes directly from CBP through your ACE portal, not from documents. With ACE access, we pull your full IEEPA-affected entry history in structured form. No OCR, no keying, no uploading stacks of 7501s. Supporting documents (commercial invoices, bills of lading, 7501s) only come in when we need to substantiate a specific claim. Upload as needed and we'll match them to the right entry line.
If you don't have ACE set up yet, we'll walk you through it at intake.
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) was used to impose additional tariffs on imports from certain countries. After the Supreme Court struck down several of these tariffs, importers who overpaid duties are entitled to refunds.
If you imported goods that were subject to IEEPA tariffs during the period they were in effect, and those tariffs have since been reduced or eliminated, you may be eligible for a refund. CustomsGenius automatically cross-references your entry summaries against the affected HTS codes and tariff rates to identify qualifying entries.
CustomsGenius tracks deadlines and flags entries at risk of expiring. Importer deadlines will vary by entry. The IEEPA refund portal is set to open on April 20, 2026, and customers using CustomsGenius will be ready to file as soon as the portal opens.
CBP estimates refunds will be issued within 60-90 days of filing unless an issue arises. We scan entry claims to identify possible issues before they arise to ensure timely refunds and avoid costly penalties.
