What does the eligibility checker do?

It evaluates four criteria: importer of record status, country of origin, HTS code presence, and import volume. Based on your answers, it provides a preliminary eligibility result and recommended next steps -- all in under two minutes.

What is the difference between screening and an assessment?

Screening is a two-minute self-check using general knowledge of your import activity. An assessment analyzes your actual CBP entry data to calculate specific dollar exposure, identify protest deadlines, and present recovery options. Start with screening.

Do I need my customs broker to use this tool?

No. The screening tool requires only your general knowledge. However, to verify HTS code presence with certainty, one question to your customs broker provides a definitive answer.

What are HTS codes 9903.01 and 9903.02?

These are the Harmonized Tariff Schedule headings under which IEEPA tariffs were assessed. They appear on your CF-7501 entry summaries. If your entries include these codes, you paid IEEPA duties that may be refundable.

Can small importers qualify?

Yes. There is no minimum import value threshold. Whether your IEEPA exposure is $5,000 or $50 million, you may be eligible. The optimal recovery path differs by volume tier.

What does the eligibility checker actually check?

The checker evaluates four criteria: (1) whether you are the importer of record, (2) whether you imported from countries subject to IEEPA tariffs, (3) whether your entries likely include HTS codes 9903.01 or 9903.02, and (4) your approximate import volume during the covered period. It provides an immediate preliminary result.

Is the screening tool free?

Yes. Completely free. No login, no account, no data stored. The tool runs in your browser and does not transmit your answers anywhere.

What happens if I pass screening?

You will see a summary of your responses and an estimated exposure range. The recommended next step is a full Impact Assessment at tariffresolution.com which analyzes your actual entry data to calculate your specific recoverable amount.

What if I don't pass screening?

The checker explains why and suggests verification steps. Some importers may not realize they are the importer of record, or may not have checked their entries for IEEPA-specific HTS codes. The tool provides guidance for each scenario.

Is screening the same as an assessment?

No. Screening is a two-minute self-check that determines whether a full assessment is warranted. A full Impact Assessment analyzes your actual entry data, calculates your specific recoverable amount, identifies entries approaching protest deadlines, and presents your recovery options.
