- If your firm holds a customs brokerage: join the Filing track and use the broker software model.
If it doesn't: join the Advisory track. Your clients get partner pricing; you bill your own work directly.
CBP bars brokers from sharing customs-business fees with unlicensed firms, so we pay no share of fees.
Your CAPE work stays protected:
- We never sell CAPE work to your clients; we don't sell CAPE at all.
- Register your CAPE client list, and our sequencing check holds every entry with IEEPA duty off drawback claims until its CAPE question is settled.
How money moves: CBP pays drawback to the claimant, your client, by ACH.
The client terms never include an advance, an assignment or a purchase of the refund.
At application, you disclose your licensing status and any funding or claim-purchase products.
Conduct rules apply: no unsolicited bulk outreach, no urgency, no requests for ACE logins or bank details, and approved claims only.
Unlicensed firms never prepare, match or compute claim data.
- Is there a tariff refund partner program for IEEPA refund firms?
