Working With a Tariff Refund Partner: What to Expect

Tarisol · August 12, 2026

If you decide to pursue a refund, you will likely work with a partner rather than filing alone, because the work is technical and deadline-driven. Here is what to expect from that relationship and how to tell a good partner from a bad one.

The referral model

Tarisol is a referral service. We help importers find out whether they qualify and connect them with the Tariff Refund Agency, the licensed team that actually files and manages claims. That structure keeps things clear: Tarisol is the front door, and the specialists do the customs work.

What a good partner does

A good partner starts with a free eligibility check and a no-cost review, so you learn what you have before any fee is on the table. They work on a success-based basis, help you get ACE-ready if needed, and keep you informed without burying you in the technical detail.

What to watch out for

Be cautious of anyone asking for a large upfront payment, promising a guaranteed amount, or claiming to be CBP or a government agency. Legitimate recovery is success-based, outcomes depend on your specific entries, and no private party is Customs.

Getting started

The right partner makes recovery simple and low-risk. If that sounds like what you want, start with a free eligibility check. It costs nothing, takes about a minute, and tells you whether pursuing a refund makes sense for your business.
