Tariff recovery · Customs brokers
A recovery capability that can complement your firm
TRA's published model states that the broker remains the trusted advisor while TRA handles the recovery workflow.
Keep the relationship and ordinary services where they belong
This is a B2B path for firms that already serve importers and want to explore a recovery-only capability. TRA's published model states that the broker retains the client relationship, entry work, freight, and day-to-day compliance services — so a firm can discuss recovery requests without building another internal department.
Recovery workflow support
- TRA handles recovery intake, ACE-data review, documentation, attorney coordination, workflow management, and a client-facing portal.
- TRA's published material states that partners receive visibility into claim status and payouts.
- TRA's published material states that a CBP-licensed broker is on staff, review or filings are trade-attorney-led, and unsupported claims are not pursued.

How IVG fits. Ironwood Ventures Group is an Independent Representative for Tariff Refund Agency. TRA provides the specialized tariff-recovery service. IVG is not the customs broker, customs counsel, the refund processor, a government agency, a lender, or the entity that independently determines refund eligibility. Eligibility, scope of work, acceptance, terms, and next steps are determined by TRA and by applicable law.
Eligibility and outcomes depend on the importer's specific facts, documentation, entry history, liquidation status, tariff program, and applicable law. No refund, approval, recovery amount, funding, or timeline is guaranteed. Tariff Refund Agency is not a law firm, customs broker, accounting firm, government agency, CBP, or U.S. Customs, and does not provide legal, tax, customs-brokerage, or accounting advice.
