CUSTOMS ATTORNEYS Are WARNING Importers Right Now… Most Businesses Have NO IDEA 🚨💰

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]So, here is what the customs attorneys are actually seeing right now as it pertains to tariff refunds. So, I've been talking to customs attorneys all week, the ones actually processing these claims right now. And I want to tell you exactly what they're seeing because some of it is going to hit close to home. So, these are people handling claims for businesses just like yours.

[00:00:27]And the same situations keep showing up on their desks over and over again. So, let me walk you through them. The first one, businesses discovering that a significant portion of their refund was already expiring as finally liquidated entries. Okay? So, money they were legally owed gone forever because nobody told them it existed and nobody with the authority to claim it was watching their clock. Their broker couldn't touch it.

[00:00:58]Only an attorney can file on finally liquidated entries. Most didn't find out until it was too late. Now, second, businesses that had absolutely no idea how much they were actually owed. They knew the tariffs hurt. They didn't know the number. When an attorney pulled their entry data and ran the actual figures, the refund amount genuinely shocked them. That's not a small thing to find out after deadlines have already passed. The third, businesses that assumed the refund was automatic, they overpaid so the money comes back, right?

[00:01:35]No. It does not work that way. Nothing about this process is automatic. If you don't file, nothing happens, full stop.

[00:01:42]And fourth, businesses who thought filing was simple, submit a claim, wait for a check. What they didn't account for is that CBP is processing $170 billion in refunds across millions of entries. This is not a simple process.

[00:01:58]The businesses treating it like one are the ones generating the most problems for themselves right now. Okay? So, none of these businesses did anything wrong.

[00:02:07]They just didn't have the right information at the right time. And that's exactly why I've been doing this all week and why having qualified representation in this process is not optional at any serious import volume.

[00:02:21]Okay? If any of those four scenarios sounded familiar, that's important information about where you stand right now. Okay? Drop the word attorney below in the comments and I'll personally follow up and make sure you have what you need before anything expires that shouldn't.

[00:02:37]I'll post more tomorrow.
