The Court Ruled Your
Tariffs Unlawful.

Customs brokers handle routine filings — but they cannot litigate complex HTS code disputes or represent you in formal legal protests with U.S. Customs. The CAPE process requires legally defensible HTS classification, formal protest filings, and ACE portal expertise that only licensed trade attorneys can execute. A single miscoded entry gets permanently rejected with no recourse.

Representation is structured as a contingency-based engagement — you pay a percentage of the refund recovered, only upon successful recovery. If we don't recover, you owe nothing. There is a $10,000 attorney engagement fee to begin legal work. Through our $40B capital partner, qualified businesses can have the fund cover this fee upfront — you pay nothing out of pocket to start. Full pricing details are discussed during your consultation.

CBP typically issues refunds within 60–90 days of an accepted CAPE Declaration, inclusive of statutory interest. However, as claim volume increases, CBP processes in the order received — early filers get paid first. For businesses who want capital faster, our $40B institutional fund partner can buy out your refund claim, delivering a significant portion of the expected refund in days rather than months.

Under U.S. customs law, you have 180 days from the liquidation date of each import entry to file a formal protest. Liquidation is the date CBP finalized your duty payment. If you miss this window for any given entry, that entry's refund is permanently forfeited — no exceptions. 2025 entries are actively liquidating right now, which is why acting immediately is critical.

Technically yes — but CAPE is a one-shot, no-amendment process. Once a Declaration is submitted and accepted, it cannot be changed. Any entry-level error (wrong HTS code, incorrect entry number, missing ACH enrollment) results in permanent rejection of that entry. The complexity of correctly identifying eligible entries, classifying them, and submitting a valid Declaration is why elite legal representation matters so much here.

Yes. Major importers including Costco, Home Depot, FedEx, Dyson, Nissan, and L'Oreal have already filed formal legal actions to secure their refunds. Over 2,000 cases are already in process. The window is open and actively filling. Small and mid-market importers who move now can still get to the front of the line — but that window is narrowing every week.

The IEEPA tariff refund program is projected to pay out over $1 trillion in recovered duties — one of the largest government refund events in U.S. history. CBP processes claims in the order they are received. Importers who file first are first in line. As claim volume grows, processing times extend — those who waited could find themselves waiting years for a payout that early movers already received. Every week of delay is not just a week closer to the 180-day deadline — it is a week further back in a line that is already forming.
