CBP Technical Reference: How Statutory Interest Multiplies Your IEEPA Refund

Under 19 U.S.C. 1505 and 26 U.S.C. 6621, statutory interest on IEEPA tariff refunds accrues from the date the original duties were paid. The current applicable rates — confirmed across multiple Federal Register publications — are 7% annually for non-corporate importers and 6% annually for corporate importers, compounded quarterly. For entries paid in April 2025, this means more than a full year of interest accrues on top of the principal refund amount. Importers who file early maximize their total recovery by allowing more interest to accrue before the 60-90 day ACH processing window begins.
