Qualifications
Is a preliminary review right for your company?
These are the baseline criteria we look for before introducing a company to a participating law firm. Meeting them does not guarantee eligibility or any outcome.
You are the importer of record
Your company is listed as the importer of record (IOR) on the relevant customs entries. If you are unsure, that is fine — we can help confirm this during intake.
You have paid qualifying tariffs
Your company has paid tariffs that may include duties associated with IEEPA authorities. Whether any specific payment qualifies is a legal determination made by a participating law firm.
You can provide documentation for review
You are willing to share standard documentation — financial statements, tax records, and customs data — so a participating law firm can evaluate potential recovery.
You can authorize read-only ACE access if needed
Where appropriate, you are willing to grant read-only access to your CBP ACE portal so entry summaries and duties paid can be verified. Read-only access is used solely for review.
Stronger fit
- Confirmed importer of record with meaningful tariff payments
- Organized financial records and customs documentation
- A finance leader (CFO, controller) involved in the process
May need clarification
- Unsure whether you are the importer of record
- Limited records readily available
- Uncertain which tariffs were paid
None of these rule you out — they are simply topics we would cover during intake.
Eligibility and outcomes depend on legal review and documentation. No result is guaranteed.
