If your business paid country-specific emergency tariffs between March 2025 and February 2026, you may be eligible for a significant refund following the recent Supreme Court ruling. But turning that eligibility into actual funds requires navigating a complex, high-volume government filing system.
The Anchor IEEPA Concierge track provides a dedicated team to manage the entire process for you. From pulling missing records across multiple customs brokers to formatting flawless filings and monitoring updates, we do the heavy lifting so your internal team doesn't have to.
We provide a fully managed operating track built to guide you through each layer of the recovery process. Our service is entirely award-based, meaning our fee is due only if a refund is officially awarded by the government.
If you use multiple customs brokers, your records are likely fragmented. Gathering data manually creates an immense internal workload.
The government's CAPE portal uses rigid validation logic. A single clerical error or minor data mismatch can trigger an immediate rejection of your entire submission.
Payouts are split into phases. "Clean" entries are processed now, while complex entries (like those with reconciliation flags or protests) are deferred. Missing these distinctions can freeze your file. You can monitor the latest rules for each phase on our live IEEPA Resource Hub.
Paper checks are no longer accepted. To secure any awarded refund, your accounts must be perfectly aligned for electronic routing through ACE, or the funds remain stuck at the Treasury.

We’ve streamlined the journey from potential eligibility to potential payout into five simple, low-lift steps:
01
Complete our quick online intake flow to securely assess your baseline import activity and potential refund exposure.
02
Set up your business profile and sign a standard Power of Attorney and Letter of Authorization (LOA) so our trade desk can interface with customs systems on your behalf.
03
Our technical team pulls your detailed transaction records directly from federal trade channels, eliminating the need for manual invoice gathering.
04
We run automated quality checks to clear away errors and construct flawless, phase-compliant upload files formatted to meet strict government rules.
05
Following a recorded final review with your team, we submit the files to the live portal and manage the administrative path through potential settlement.
Our IEEPA Concierge service requires zero upfront fees. Our compensation is purely award-based and becomes due only if the government officially awards the refund. If no refund is awarded, you owe us nothing.
To align completely with your recovery, any accrued statutory interest on the principal is 100% retained by your business.
Evolving federal lawsuits and strict submission rules mean filing alone or waiting puts your recovery at risk. Missing a deadline or encountering a portal error can delay your access to funds for years.
Anchor’s Concierge service takes the entire burden off your team. We pull your data directly from federal streams, clean up hidden broker errors, and actively manage your tracking process entirely on an award basis.
Everything importers, brokers, and partners ask about the IEEPA recovery process.
No. Unlike traditional filing vendors, Anchor’s technical desk can pull your historical import transaction records directly from federal trade streams. This eliminates the need for your team to search for old shipping bills or contact past freight forwarders.
This is a common administrative hurdle. If your broker listed themselves as the official Importer of Record (IOR) on the original paperwork, the refund right is legally tied to them. In these scenarios, Anchor can step in as a dedicated third party to manage administrative alignment between your business and the broker, helping unlock the application path.
We understand that corporate privacy is paramount. Data show that 95% of large publicly traded companies are quietly pursuing refunds without disclosing figures to avoid political blowback or consumer class-action lawsuits. Anchor operates a private data desk, ensuring your trade data evaluation and portal configuration are handled with strict confidentiality.
Yes. The government is legally authorized to reduce or intercept approved IEEPA refunds to satisfy qualifying outstanding federal debts or tax liabilities through the Treasury Offset Program (TOP). Anchor pre-audits your files using IRS Form 8821 to identify these exposure points before your claim is processed.
Entries flagged for reconciliation (Entry Type 09) or tied to drawback claims are explicitly excluded from the current Phase 1 portal track. However, they still represent a major recovery opportunity. Anchor segments these complex lines into an active "standby" queue, keeping them formatted and prepared for rapid deployment the moment downstream government phases open.
Phase windows are closing. Authorize today and we'll have your eligibility scan and first filing in motion within 72 hours.
