The U.S. Reinstates IEEPA Tariffs \u2013 Here’s How\u00a0to Check Eligibility and Get a Refund<\/p>\n


\nFollowing the U.S. court’s ruling on IEEPA tariffs, the U.S. Customs Service has begun a gradual process of refunding the tariffs paid<\/p>\n

So in order to put things in order, we have compiled here what is important to know, step by step:<\/p>\n

As of April 20, 2026, the first stage of the refund process has opened.<\/p>\n

\"letter_and_package_rgb_red.png\"What shipments are included at this time?
\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0Shipments over $2,500, for which customs duties were paid between 22.03.2025 and 24.02.2026\u00a0Small shipments, for which customs duties were paid between 30.01.2026 and 24.02.2026<\/p>\n

*Shipments outside these ranges are not included in the first stage, and updates are expected to be published later.<\/p>\n

\"hr_rgb_red.png\"How do I apply for a refund?<\/p>\n

Only the Importer of Record (IOR) or a customs broker on its behalf may submit a request for a refund.
\n<\/p>\n

If DHL has served as the Importer of Record\u00a0(IOR),\u00a0DHL has already submitted refund requests for eligible shipments under this stage. Upon receipt of refunds from U.S. Customs, the amounts will be transferred to the party who paid the customs.If the customer is the IOR \u2013\u00a0you can use the DHL USA service for a fee or submit the application independently through the US customs system:
<\/p>\n

To apply\u00a0for a refund through DHL USA:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0Please contact DHL USA using this form<\/a>\u00a0and follow the instructions provided.<\/p>\n

– The service is chargeable<\/p>\n

To apply for a refund independently:<\/p>\n

– You must register for the US customs system CAPE, which allows you to submit several shipments at once.\u00a0For the system registration guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– In order to submit the application, an Entry Number is required for each shipment.<\/p>\n

– It is not possible to submit a request using a bill of lading only.<\/p>\n


\nIf you do not have the shipment entry numbers, customers with a valid Power of Attorney (POA) on file with DHL may request access to the MyUSEntries platform by contacting:\u00a0MYUSENTRY@dhl.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\"currency_change_rgb_red1.png\"How is the refund received?<\/p>\n

If DHL submits the request,\u00a0make sure that a claim\u00a0number has been\u00a0received by the customer registered in the US. The refund will be received by DHL and forwarded to the party who paid the customs.<\/p>\n

If the customer is the Registered\u00a0Importer (IOR) \u2013\u00a0and submits the request independently \u2013\u00a0the refund is transferred to a US bank account (ACH).\u00a0Make sure that a suitable\u00a0refund account is in place to receive the refund, as no refunds are made by check or cash.

\nFor more information on opening a refund account \u2013 visit the US Customs website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"alert_rgb_red.png\"When is the refund expected from the moment the application is submitted?

\n

\n**The application is expected\u00a0to take approximately 60 to 90 days to process by U.S. Customs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In cases where DHL submits the request: Additional processing time of up to 90 days may occur,

\nSo the total duration of treatment may reach up to 180 days.
