Yes. There are a few federal programs that may help businesses offset or recover costs related to tariffs. Eligibility depends on your product type, supply chain, and whether you're exporting any goods after import.
Here are some options to explore:
Section 301 Tariff Exclusions
Some products may qualify for tariff exclusions under Section 301 (China-specific tariffs). These exclusions are limited, time-bound, and product-specific. You can check current lists and updates via the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.Duty Drawback Programs
If you import goods and later export them (in whole or as part of another product), you may be eligible for a refund of duties paid. These programs are administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAA for Firms)
This federal program provides financial assistance and strategy consulting to U.S. businesses affected by increased imports or tariffs. You can learn more or apply through the U.S. Department of Commerce’s TAAF program.
These programs require documentation and may involve a formal application process, but they can provide meaningful relief for eligible businesses.
