Why Attend

Following the ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States, which declared the additional tariffs introduced by the US Administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) unlawful, the US Department of the Treasury has launched a massive refund program for the amounts improperly collected.

To date, the US government has already refunded over $100 billion to the exporting companies involved, out of a total potential estimated at over $166 billion. This opens a strategic and time-limited window for Italian companies that have borne the impact of these tariffs over the last twelve months.

However, the recovery process initiated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is subject to strict phases and highly stringent administrative and legal deadlines: from verifying the status of customs entries (liquidated vs. unliquidated), to mapping deadlines for Post Summary Corrections and formal protests, to rigorous documentation requirements — currently, around 40% of initial applications worldwide have been rejected due to formal errors or lack of evidence regarding Importer of Record traceability.

The Contribution of GA-Alliance

Aware of the technical complexity of this operation, GA-Alliance has set up a dedicated task force, in collaboration with international partner Pedro Drummond and his teams based in Miami, Orlando, and Boston, to assist Italian companies throughout the recovery process: from the audit and quantification of recoverable amounts, to document preparation, up to submitting applications to US customs authorities.

During the webinar, our international experts will outline the strategic implications and procedural requirements of this initiative, providing actionable operational guidance to verify the eligibility of your commercial operations.
