Many suppliers added a separate tariff surcharge to their bills in 2025. On Feb 20, 2026, the Supreme Court struck down most IEEPA tariffs, and importers can now ask CBP for a refund. Only the importer can file. TraxRecovery's agent finds every surcharge you paid, by supplier and quarter, and drafts a polite request for your share that you approve and send.

Tariff share agent
Reading surcharge columns
What the tariff share agent checks
Surcharge columns
A column such as Tariff Surcharge, Duty Surcharge, Import Surcharge or IEEPA Surcharge on the supplier bill. Highest confidence.
Fee lines with tariff wording
A fee or bill line that says tariff, duty, import surcharge, IEEPA, Section 301 or reciprocal, quoted word for word.
Surcharges named in a note
A memo or note that names a surcharge amount. Lowest confidence, flagged for you to check.
Price increases left out
A general price increase is not a surcharge, even if it mentions tariffs. It never counts.
Inside the IEEPA window
Only bills dated Feb 1, 2025 to Feb 19, 2026 count, the same window as IEEPA duty refunds.
By supplier and quarter
Totals per supplier and calendar quarter, with every invoice listed, so the request is easy to check.
By hand
Go through a year of supplier bills, pull out every tariff surcharge line, add them up by supplier, and write to each one. Most teams never get to it.
The window
Bills dated Feb 1, 2025 to Feb 19, 2026, the same window as IEEPA duty refunds. There is no legal deadline for asking a supplier, but suppliers are filing now.
Who files with CBP
Only the importer of record or its customs broker. You ask the supplier; the supplier decides whether to share.
You stay in control
Every supplier is off until you tick it. Every request waits for your approval. Confirm the supplier imported the goods before you send.
What it looks like
A shelving distributor paid three suppliers itemized tariff surcharges in 2025: $675 to one supplier in the second quarter ($375 + $300), $229.75 to a second in the third quarter ($142.50 + $87.25), and $36 named in a bill note from a third. Total: $940.75 across 3 suppliers. Each supplier gets a short request listing its own invoices and wording.
Illustrative example, not a real customer.
How it works
1. Give the agent its files
Your supplier invoice export or QuickBooks bills for 2025 and early 2026. The same file the supplier invoice audit reads. PDF works too.
2. It finds and drafts
The agent totals surcharges per supplier and quarter, quotes each supplier's own wording, and drafts a neutral request for the suppliers you tick.
3. You approve and send
Replies are read for you: credit, refund, declined, not yet (follow-ups at 60 and 90 days) or not the importer. When a credit lands, you pay 30% of verified savings.
The free audit reads up to 10 files at once and shows the tariff surcharges you paid, by supplier. Nothing is stored.
Open the free auditNo. Only the importer of record or its licensed customs broker can file an IEEPA refund through CBP's CAPE process. As the buyer, you can ask your supplier for a share of any refund it receives.
Not automatically. The supplier decides whether to share, and your rights depend on your contract. If a supplier refuses, talk to your own lawyer. Whether you get a credit depends on the supplier's refund and on your contract. Many suppliers who listed a separate surcharge may still be willing to share; the request asks politely and lets the supplier decide.
Surcharges shown as their own amount on a supplier bill: a Tariff Surcharge column, a fee line that says tariff, duty or import surcharge, or a note with the surcharge amount, on bills dated Feb 1, 2025 to Feb 19, 2026. General price increases do not count.
You do. The agent drafts a short, neutral email with your invoice list, the supplier's own surcharge wording and the total. Nothing goes out until you approve it, and only for suppliers you tick.
Its reply is recorded and follow-ups are scheduled at 60 and 90 days, so the request is not forgotten while CBP processes refunds.
30% of verified savings: 30% of a credit or refund the supplier actually issues. Nothing if the supplier declines or never receives a refund.
