CBP can take up to 12–24 months to process your tariff refund. If you have already filed an IEEPA tariff refund claim — through CAPE, a broker, or even another law firm — you could be able to convert your filed claim into working capital right now through our AmLaw 200 customs and trade attorneys.

Already filed your claim elsewhere? Your claim still qualifies — if your refund claim is filed and pending we can assess your eligibility for a cash advance, at no cost to you.
Our team, coordinating with AmLaw 200 customs and trade attorneys, reviews your filed claim, assesses advance eligibility, and provides a confidential assessment. No cost. No obligation, and protected by attorney-client privilege.
If your claim qualifies, our attorneys structure the advance with a third-party capital partner. This is a non-recourse sale of your refund receivable — not a loan. If CBP delays, reduces, or denies the refund, you have no repayment obligation.
Once structured, funds are transferred directly to your business' bank account. Our AmLaw 200 customs and trade attorneys continue managing your underlying claim with CBP from there. You have your working capital, we handle the rest.
The advance is open to any US importer with a validly-filed IEEPA, or Section 301 refund claim, on any unconstitutionally-collected tariffs during 2025/6 — regardless of where or how it was filed:
Your CAPE Declaration has been submitted and accepted by CBP for Phase 1 unliquidated entries. You are waiting on CBP processing and disbursement — we can get your working capital back sooner than the year+ it could take.
A CBP protest has been submitted for your entries, but protest processing typically takes 12–18 months, or longer — our cash advance program converts that wait into immediate, much-needed working capital for you.
Your claim is in active CIT litigation, which can take two or more years to resolve. An advance allows you to monetise the expected recovery — you get on with business as usual, while litigation continues behind the scenes.
You already engaged a recovery service or law firm, and your claim is on file, but you haven't been paid yet. Ask your current firm if they offer a cash advance... Our advance is available regardless of who filed your claim.
Haven't filed yet? Your fastest path to working capital is to file first and claim a cash advance immediately after. Our AmLaw 200 customs and trade attorneys can handle both your filing and the cash advance as a single engagement — start with the free eligibility assessment on the homepage.
