Upload
Drag in a year of supplier invoices — PDFs, scans, phone photos. Nothing is shared with anyone.
For U.S. businesses that bought imported goods in 2025
IEEPA tariffs were struck down in February, and importers are being refunded. Upload your supplier invoices: SurchargeBack finds the lines labeled as tariff surcharges, totals them by supplier, and builds a factual evidence pack you can use to ask about their refunds.
SurchargeBack is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. This report summarizes charges found in documents you provided.

Evidence over assumptions
A number you can't defend is worse than no number. The headline total only counts lines your supplier printed as a tariff surcharge, dated while IEEPA duties were being collected. Everything else is shown separately, with the reason.

The pack is a tool, not a claim service. Use it to ask your suppliers yourself, or hand it to your accountant or attorney so they start with every invoice already found, totaled and referenced.
One payment per scan. Sales tax added where required. Payment is handled by Paddle, the merchant of record. Refund policy

Clear answers
On February 20, 2026 the Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA does not authorize the 2025 tariffs, and U.S. Customs has been refunding those duties to importers. Refunds go to the importer of record — often your distributor, not you. If a supplier passed those tariffs to you as a separate surcharge, your invoices are the record of what you paid.
No. SurchargeBack is not a law firm. It reports what your own invoices say: which charges were labeled as tariff surcharges, when, by whom, and how much. Whether you have a claim depends on your contracts and circumstances. For large amounts, talk to an attorney — the evidence pack is a good thing to bring.
Never. You get a short, neutral draft question for each supplier that you can edit and send from your own email, if you choose to.
Supplier invoices as PDFs (native or scanned) and phone photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC). Up to 400 pages per free scan. Statements and price-increase letters are welcome too — they're listed, but never counted as surcharges.
The headline total only counts lines printed as tariff surcharges on invoices dated in the IEEPA period (Feb 3, 2025 – Feb 24, 2026). Section 232/301 tariffs, fuel and card surcharges, and freight are left out and listed separately. Ambiguous charges are shown for you to decide.
If FedEx, UPS, DHL or a customs broker billed you for duties, you may have been the importer of record — and refunds would come from Customs, not a supplier. SurchargeBack flags these bills separately so you can ask your broker.
