(SeaPRwire) – A complimentary AI Recovery Agent, trained using official CBP source documents, now provides small importers with the same filing expertise typically available to Fortune 500 trade attorneys.
Los Angeles, California May 18, 2026 – TariffGuru.com, a federal trade recovery consulting firm, today announced the introduction of a free AI recovery agent. This tool has been directly trained on CBP CAPE documentation, ACE portal protocols, Federal Register interest rate tables, and Court of International Trade court orders. It is offered at no charge to any U.S. importer navigating the IEEPA tariff refund process.
This launch addresses a significant deficiency within the federal refund program. Out of an estimated 330,000 small and medium U.S. importers who qualify for a portion of $166 billion in overpaid duties, the vast majority lack access to a trade attorney, an internal compliance team, or institutional knowledge regarding the CAPE filing procedure.
“A frequent error importers make is assuming that a standard broker CSV export or an Excel spreadsheet can be uploaded directly into the new federal CAPE portal,” stated Omar El Adli, founder of TariffGuru.com. “The government’s validation system enforces stringent automated alphanumeric data syntax filters that reject raw data formats. TariffGuru.com was specifically developed to resolve this fragmentation, functioning as a local pre-validation utility that cleans and formats corrupted entry lines before they reach the federal gateway.”
The AI recovery agent provides answers in plain English concerning eligibility, entry formatting, ACH enrollment, Phase 1 exclusions, and statutory interest calculations. It has been trained on the identical source documents utilized by enterprise compliance teams, including CBP handbooks, Federal Register entries, and CIT filings, and is accessible without requiring an account or login.
This tool is one of several complimentary resources available at TariffGuru.com, which also includes a CAPE pre-filing eligibility screener, a federal statutory interest calculator based on 19 U.S.C. 1505 and 26 U.S.C. 6621, a free filing guide, and a community knowledge base where importers can submit actual filing issues and access verified solutions published for all users.
Small and medium importers, defined as businesses with less than $10 million in annual import volume, constitute the majority of the 330,000 eligible filers and represent the segment with the lowest filing rate, according to CBP data.
“The current system primarily benefits Fortune 500 companies and large trade law firms,” El Adli commented. “Hopefully, this helps to level the playing field.”
The AI recovery agent is now accessible at TariffGuru.com.
