IEEPA Tariff Refunds for Food, Beverage, and Agricultural Importers

How IEEPA tariffs hit food and agriculture

• Reciprocal tariff until November 13, 2025. An executive order signed November 14, 2025 exempted a list of farm products from the reciprocal tariff for goods entered on or after November 13, 2025. The list includes coffee, tea, tropical fruits and juices, cocoa, spices, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, beef, and certain fertilizers. Entries of those products before November 13 paid the reciprocal tariff, which may be refundable.
• Brazil. Brazilian goods paid an additional 40 percent IEEPA duty from August 6, 2025. A separate order removed that duty from beef, coffee, and other farm goods for entries on or after November 13, 2025.
• Canada and Mexico. USMCA-qualifying goods were exempt from the IEEPA duties on those countries from March 7, 2025, and Canada and Mexico were not subject to the reciprocal tariff. Non-qualifying goods paid the IEEPA duty.

What is not refundable

Antidumping and countervailing duties are not IEEPA duties. For example, Commerce imposed an antidumping order on fresh tomatoes from Mexico effective July 14, 2025. Those deposits are not part of the IEEPA refund.

Records to have ready

• Entry dates on either side of November 13, 2025
