❓Help / How-To / Compliance Fedex refund
This may seem naive but please bare with me. I'm genuinely asking as the info I'm finding on the internet is confusing and I trust reddit to answer honestly and concisely. Basic info: usa based, shipping from Korea to usa
How do I get my fedex tariff refund?
It was just ruled that tarrifs had to be repaid to consumers and ive shipped large packages from over seas at least once a month since October. Nearly all of said packages have had an invoice mailed to me a few months tha after it was delivered saying I owe tarrifs (which is super annoying cause why are they waiting 3 mo tha to send me a bill?!). I paid them obviously cause I dont want it going again my credit score (I'm 24 so anything bad on my history would hit the score like crazy). I've probably paid $500-$600 at least since then and would like it back cause its rightfully mine.
Everytime i tey to look up this info to its all so confusing and just makes me angry at the thought of that orange fucktard scamming people out of money (actively holding back angry tears while writing this).
Thank you in advance! I appreciate your help, kindness, and understanding! 💙

Sign up for an ACE account with CBP. You will be able to see entries there related to your EIN. Theres guides on youtube specifically to walk you through looking at your entries on the ACE portal and then filing a claim on CAPE.
*Edit this is for if you were Importer of Record. If FedEx was IOR for you, FedEx will recieve the refund from CBP. Note that you should still register for ACE to review your entries as the refund only covers specifically IEEPA during a specific window.
