Recover Tariff Refunds Your Business May Be Entitled To
MarginFirst Advisors helps organizations recover hidden financial value that may already belong to them.
Whether it's tariff recovery, tax credits, incentives, cost segregation, workers' compensation audits, or utility audits, we help organizations uncover money they may already be entitled to.
Already Filed Your Claim?
Filing isn't the finish line. Maximizing your recovery is.
Many importers filed quickly to preserve their rights. That doesn't necessarily mean every eligible entry, supporting document, or recovery opportunity was identified.
• Every eligible entry was included
• Every potential recovery opportunity was identified
• Supporting documentation is sufficient for maximum recovery
• The claim is positioned for maximum recovery
A second opinion may uncover additional recovery opportunities and help ensure your claim is positioned for the best possible outcome.
Already Filed and Waiting?
Qualified companies may also be eligible for advance funding while their refund is pending.
Access to capital can improve cash flow without waiting for the government claims process to conclude.
Wherever you are in the tariff recovery process, MarginFirst helps you determine the right next step.
Why Companies Are Taking Another Look at Previously Paid Tariffs
For many organizations, tariffs paid during 2025 and 2026 were viewed as simply another cost of doing business. Recent legal and regulatory developments have prompted many importers to re-evaluate those payments and determine whether recovery opportunities may exist.
Whether your company has never explored tariff recovery, has already submitted a claim, or is still waiting for a refund, a review may help determine whether additional recovery opportunities or advance funding options are available.
Recent Developments
Legal and regulatory developments have created new opportunities for qualified importers to review previously paid tariffs.
Advance Funding May Be Available
Qualified importers with pending claims may have the option to access funds before the government completes the refund process.
It's Not Just New Claims
Many companies that have already submitted claims are requesting a second review to identify additional recovery opportunities, evaluate remaining filing phases, or explore advance funding options.
Performance-Based Engagement
No upfront fees.
If the review determines there isn't a viable recovery opportunity, there is no obligation to move forward.
Your company may benefit from a review if you:
✓ Imported goods into the United States during 2025 or 2026
✓ Paid tariffs or additional import duties
✓ Were the Importer of Record or ultimately bore the cost of those tariffs
✓ Have not yet reviewed your eligibility—or would like a second opinion
✓ If two or more of these apply to your business, it's worth a five-minute eligibility review.
A five-minute eligibility review can help determine whether your company may qualify to recover previously paid tariffs or, if you already have a pending claim, explore advance funding options.
