LOS ANGELES - TelAve -- Los Angeles, CA - May 5, 2026 - For thousands of U.S. small and mid-sized businesses, the clock is ticking on one of the largest federal refund opportunities in recent history. Following the February 20, 2026 Supreme Court ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, which invalidated emergency IEEPA tariffs imposed in 2025, an estimated $166 billion in overpaid duties is now eligible for recovery through the CAPE refund portal, and most of it is still sitting on the table.

TariffGuru.com today announced the launch of a free AI Recovery Agent, built specifically to help U.S. importers understand their eligibility, navigate the daunting filing process, and avoid the technical mistakes that can cost them months of delays.

The barrier isn't awareness. It's fear.

Many business owners know they're owed money. What's stopping them is the complexity of the filing process itself. A single formatting error, a misclassified HTS code, or a missed submission deadline can trigger a federal rejection, and in the worst cases, push a claim past its liquidation deadline entirely.
"The number one thing we hear from importers is that they're afraid to file incorrectly," said Omar El Adli, Technical Architect at TariffGuru.com. "They'd rather wait and hope for guidance than risk making a mistake that costs them everything. We built the AI agent to remove that fear, and we made it free because every eligible business deserves a fair shot at recovering what they're owed."

An AI Agent with the Answers … At No Cost

TariffGuru's AI Recovery Agent is available free at TariffGuru.com and is trained on the full library of government handbooks and publications from every agency involved in the IEEPA recovery process, including CBP filing protocols, ACE portal documentation, and IRS underpayment and overpayment rates used for federal interest calculations. Small business owners can ask plain-language questions and get answers grounded in actual federal guidelines, not general internet searches.

The agent walks users through eligibility, flags common filing errors before they happen, and helps importers understand exactly where they stand before they submit a single form. No account required. No hourly rate. No law degree needed.

For Those Who Want to File Themselves; The $97 Toolkit

For importers ready to file independently, TariffGuru.com offers the Federal Recovery Toolkit at $97, priced specifically for the small and mid-sized businesses who need it most, not enterprise firms with in-house trade counsel. It includes everything needed to file correctly, consolidated in one place.

With the first projected federal payouts scheduled for May 11, the filing window is not theoretical, it's open right now.
