FAQ
Common questions about selling your claim.
How does selling my IEEPA tariff claim work?
You submit your entry data. We verify every affected HTS line, calculate your recoverable position, and deliver a firm non-recourse offer — typically within 48 hours. Accept it, sign the assignment, receive your wire. Done.
What does non-recourse mean for me?
Once you’re paid, you’re done. If CBP delays, denies, reduces, or fails to process the refund, that is entirely our problem. Your payment is final and irrevocable. You bear zero risk after closing.
How much will I receive for my claim?
Every offer is unique to your claim. Pricing reflects your specific entry data, liquidation status, claim complexity, and current market conditions. You’ll receive a firm, competitive number based on line-by-line verification of your actual entries — not an estimate.
Why would I sell at a discount instead of waiting?
Time value of money. A dollar recovered in 18–36 months is worth less than a dollar today. Factor in processing risk, queue uncertainty, and the opportunity cost of locked capital — and for many importers, converting their claim into immediate capital is the higher-return decision.
How long does the process take?
Firm, non-recourse offer within 48 hours of validated documentation. Capital wired within days of executing the assignment. Most transactions close inside one week.
What data do I need to provide?
One document: your ACE Portal Entry Summary (the ES-003 Entry Summary Details report). Your customs broker can pull this from CBP’s ACE Secure Data Portal in minutes. Nothing else required for a firm offer.
Is there any cost or obligation?
None. The valuation costs you nothing. If you receive an offer and decide not to proceed, there is no fee, no penalty, and no further obligation. Your data stays protected under mutual NDA.
What happens after I’m paid?
Nothing. You’re done. We take over all government filings, CAPE processing, and CBP follow-up. If delays or complications arise, they’re ours to manage. You’ve already been paid.
What are the seller representations?
Four standard representations: authority to assign the claim, no prior assignment or encumbrance, accuracy of entry data, and no fraud in the underlying transactions. These are standard in any receivables transaction.
Can I sell claims from multiple customs brokers?
Yes. We consolidate entries across all your brokers of record. Provide data from each broker and we validate the full portfolio as a single claim.
What if I have already filed a protest on some entries?
Protested entries can still be assigned. The protest preserves your rights and may add value to the claim. We acquire claims including any pending protests.
How is the offer price determined?
Our valuation methodology considers face value, time value of money, processing risk probability, entry liquidation status, claim complexity, and current secondary market conditions. All initial offers are preliminary and subject to full underwriting; final terms are provided upon completion of due diligence.
