Overview
China Tariff Refund is a dedicated advisory resource operated by Tariff Solutions, a claims advisory and acquisition firm with more than 20 years of experience in federal claims recovery. The service is aimed at U.S. importers who paid duties under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) on goods originating in China, at rates that at their peak reached a combined 145%. According to the service, China was the only country subject to two simultaneous IEEPA programs — the fentanyl national emergency under Executive Order 14195 and the reciprocal tariff program under Executive Order 14257 — and the stacking of those programs produced the highest single-country exposure in the entire IEEPA program. The service positions itself as a China-specific resource rather than a generic tariff-refund guide. Its stated work covers three areas: exposure analysis across the four HTS 9903.01 codes associated with China entries (9903.01.20, 9903.01.24, 9903.01.25 and 9903.01.63), separation of the IEEPA-refundable portion of an entry from Section 301 duties that remain in effect, and mapping of each entry to a recovery path — post-summary correction, formal protest, CIT litigation, or immediate capital through claim assignment. The site cites the Supreme Court's February 20, 2026 ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, which struck down all IEEPA tariffs, as the basis for refund eligibility plus statutory interest. China Tariff Refund operates as one node in a broader IEEPA recovery ecosystem. Its own site directs importers to tariffrefundchecker.com to check whether entries qualify, and describes itself as the China-focused resource within the Tariff Solutions network. The service markets a fast assessment process — data submission to a capital offer via claim assignment within 48 hours — and states that all China import data is covered by a mutual NDA, uses 256-bit encryption, and carries no obligation. It is a private, U.S.-based advisory offering rather than a public company or a government program.
History
China Tariff Refund is a China-focused advisory resource within the Tariff Solutions network. Tariff Solutions is described as a claims advisory and acquisition firm with over 20 years of experience in federal claims recovery. The China Tariff Refund service was built specifically for what it calls the China IEEPA recovery event — the period during which U.S. importers of Chinese-origin goods paid IEEPA duties at rates that reached a combined 145% at peak. The service's account of the underlying events is as follows. China was the only country subject to two simultaneous IEEPA programs: the fentanyl national emergency under Executive Order 14195 and the reciprocal tariff program under Executive Order 14257. The stacking of these two programs produced the 145% peak rate on April 9, 2025 — a rate no other trading partner reached. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court struck down all IEEPA tariffs in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump. According to the service, the full IEEPA surcharge on Chinese-origin goods across all four HTS 9903.01 codes then became eligible for refund plus statutory interest. China Tariff Refund was established to address the specific challenges it says China importers face: dual-program tariff stacking (fentanyl plus reciprocal), four distinct HTS codes, Section 301 overlap that must be separated, and the largest per-entry exposure amounts. The service states that generic IEEPA guidance does not address these specifics, and that China claims dominate the queue of refund claims. It operates as part of a broader IEEPA recovery ecosystem, directing importers to tariffrefundchecker.com for a comprehensive assessment across all affected countries.
