OULI REFUND · TARIFF REFUND OPERATIONS BY OULUTION

CBP has repaid $86 billion.
Is your share in it?

The IEEPA refund is moving fast — per CBP court filings (July 10, 2026), $121.75B in claims accepted and $86.3B already repaid with interest. What's left is the hard part: entries that missed the window, stuck payments, protest deadlines, and the money your counterparties now claim. We scan your entries, watch every clock, and prepare the paperwork your licensed broker or attorney files.

The aftermath

The refund was ordered. Collecting it is the hard part.

The Supreme Court held the IEEPA tariffs unlawful in February 2026, and the Court of International Trade ordered refunds in March. Since then the easy money has moved: CBP's CAPE process opened in phases, and by July 10 CBP had accepted $121.75 billion in claims and repaid $86.3 billion with statutory interest.

What remains is everything the fast lane skipped. Entries that missed a CAPE phase. Approved declarations stalled on banking details. Refunds offset against unrelated debts. Finally-liquidated entries whose refunds the government now contests on appeal. And the oldest clock in customs law — the 180-day protest window — keeps expiring, entry by entry. This is the part that needs a system, not a headline.

WHAT'S STILL STUCK
Entries that missed a CAPE phase window
Approved but unpaid — ACH refund enrollment missing (8,000+ declarations stalled)
Refunds offset against unrelated debts first (19 CFR 24.72(b))
Finally-liquidated entries — scope contested in the government's appeal
Protest clocks running from every liquidation
Counterparties claiming the refund on duties you funded

TODAY

The contested tail

The government's appeal argues finally-liquidated refunds belong only to the ~4,000 importers who sued. Deadlines keep running while it's decided.

The toolkit

Everything between you and the refund desk.

Built for importers, cross-border sellers, and the boutique trade practices that advise them. Five modules and a free calculator — one workspace, English and Chinese.

M01

Refund Scanner

Paste your ACE entry data and get a per-entry triage: which refund path still applies (CAPE, protest, protective suit, or wait), how much is at stake, and what's stuck — rejected files, missing ACH enrollment, offsets.

M02

Deadline Monitor

Every entry has a clock: liquidation cycles, 180-day protest windows, litigation cutoffs. We track them per entry and email you before anything lapses.

Free public tool: the 180-day deadline calculator →

M03

Refund Allocation

The refund landed — now who gets it? Analyze pass-through clauses, prepare demand or defense positions between importers, buyers, and overseas suppliers, in English and Chinese.

M04

Drawback Workbench

Section 1313 duty drawback never expires as a program: re-exported, destroyed, or manufacturing exports can recover up to 99% of duties. Intake, estimate, and a broker-ready claim memo.

M05

China-Side Recovery · 中文

For overseas suppliers whose refund sits with a US forwarder under DDP terms: ownership triage, negotiation letters in English with Chinese working notes, settlement drafts — prepared for you and your counsel to use. Process, not promises.

Questions

The ones that actually get asked.

What is the IEEPA tariff refund?

It is the refund of US tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which the Supreme Court held unlawful on 20 February 2026. The Court of International Trade ordered refunds on 4 March 2026 — roughly $166 billion to about 330,000 importers across more than 53 million customs entries. As of CBP's court filing of 10 July 2026, $121.75 billion in claims had been accepted across 213,939 declarations and $86.3 billion repaid with statutory interest.

How long do I have to act? What is the 180-day protest window?

The protest window under 19 U.S.C. § 1514 runs 180 days from the date each entry liquidates — not from the court ruling, and not from any single national deadline. Every entry in your records therefore has its own clock. CBP's CAPE process instead opened in phases — Phase 1 on 20 April 2026, Phase 2 on 29 June — each covering specific entry classes, and a CAPE declaration cannot be withdrawn once accepted. Ouli Refund's Deadline Monitor tracks the clocks per entry and emails before one lapses. Which path applies to a given entry is a determination for your licensed customs broker or attorney.

Can Oulution file my refund claim with CBP?

No. Oulution is not a law firm and not a customs brokerage. The software prepares analyses, calculations and document drafts; every filing with CBP is made by you or by your licensed customs broker or attorney — never by us. Nothing on this site or in the product is legal, customs or tax advice.

What does it cost — and do you take a percentage of my refund?

Never a percentage: Ouli Refund is priced as flat software, so every dollar CBP refunds stays yours. Plans are monthly or annual subscriptions, plus one-time Refund Packs for when a single deadline is all you need. Tiers scale by how many importer EINs and how many entries a month they cover — a free tier carries the duty calculator and an eligibility scan, and paid plans for importers, larger businesses and brokers run from the low hundreds to the low thousands of dollars a month. Current figures are in the pricing section of this page. Contingency arrangements elsewhere in this market typically take 10–15% of the refund.

What data do I need to start?

An export of your entry data from ACE — or the same report from your customs broker — pasted into the scanner. No system integration is required to start. The scan returns a per-entry triage: which refund paths remain open, dollar estimates, deadlines, and diagnostics for payments stuck on rejected files, missing ACH enrollment or offsets — with the reasoning shown at every step rather than a score.

How is duty drawback different from the IEEPA refund?

They are separate programs, and one does not replace the other. Duty drawback under 19 U.S.C. § 1313 is an ongoing program that can recover up to 99% of duties on goods that are re-exported, destroyed, or used to manufacture exports. The IEEPA refund is a one-off consequence of the 2026 ruling and is tied to entries that carried IEEPA duties. Ouli Refund covers both — the Refund Scanner for IEEPA paths, and the Drawback Workbench for § 1313 intake, estimates and a broker-ready claim memo.

Where we stand

Software, not legal advice.

C01 · WHO FILES

We prepare analyses, calculations, and document drafts. Filings with CBP are made by you or your licensed customs broker or attorney — never by us.

C02 · WHO WE ARE

Oulution is not a law firm and not a customs brokerage, and nothing on this site or in the product is legal, customs, or tax advice. Oulution Holdings' information-security management system is independently certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

C03 · HOW WE CHARGE

Software plans are flat subscriptions and one-time packs, never a percentage of your refund. Where Oulution group companies offer separately-contracted professional services, those are governed by their own written terms.

C04 · WHERE FIGURES COME FROM

Figures on this page are drawn from CBP court filings and public sources as of July 2026 and may change as litigation proceeds; outputs in the product carry their own source notes.
