how do i see the status of my tariff refund

If you mean a U.S. tariff refund tied to an import or customs filing, the main place to check is the ACE/CBP refund workflow, usually through your customs broker or import account. Public guidance says to start with the entry summary report to see whether the refund has been calculated, then check refund reports to see whether it has moved on to Treasury or been issued.

What to check

• ES-022 first: this is the key report for refund-related details like refund amount, interest, refund number, date, and status once available.

• ES-701 next if ES-022 is blank or incomplete, to confirm liquidation activity.

• REV-603 after that, to see whether the refund has been sent to Treasury or issued.

• REV-615 for more detailed entry-level refund information once the refund is farther along.

• REV-613 if you expected payment but it was rejected or returned because of an ACH issue.

Practical way to read it

A submitted or accepted filing does not necessarily mean the refund is ready yet. If you can see the entry in CAPE but not in the refund report, that usually means the claim is still moving through the process.

If you’re using a broker

Ask your customs broker to provide the status from ACE and the relevant entry numbers, refund amount, interest amount, and refund date. That is often the fastest way to confirm whether the payment is pending, sent, or rejected.

If you meant a tax refund

For an IRS refund, the status is checked through the IRS “Where’s My Refund?” system or your IRS online account, and timing depends on how you filed.

TL;DR

For a tariff refund, ask for the ACE reports in this order: ES-022, ES-701, REV-603, REV-615, REV-613. For a tax refund, use the IRS refund tracker instead.
