Case Study
Pacific Refining recovered $18.4M in IEEPA tariffs on petroleum imports
A West Coast refining operation importing crude and refined petroleum products, plus pipeline equipment from IEEPA-affected origins, used our platform to identify and file claims across both commodity and equipment entries in a single coordinated effort.
Filing Challenges
Industry-specific complications
Oil & Gas refund claims come with unique challenges that generic filing tools miss. Our platform is built to handle them.
Petroleum entries often have extremely high duty values, making accuracy on each claim critical
Country-of-origin determination for blended petroleum products requires detailed documentation
Pipeline equipment imports may overlap with Section 232 steel tariffs, requiring precise IEEPA isolation
FTZ entries and drawback claims add layers of complexity to IEEPA refund calculations
Continuous entry programs used by large refiners require bulk CAPE filing strategies
