About
This course is for CPAs, attorneys, financial advisors, and other accounting and finance
professionals advising clients that imported goods from outside the U.S. between February 2025 and February 2026.
Billions in tariff refunds are owed back to U.S. importers, and your clients could be owed six to seven figures paid directly to them. Federal courts ruled IEEPA tariffs illegal and a refund process is now open through Customs and Border Protection, with statutory interest on every dollar recovered.
