Tariff Refund Suite™ — TRS-197 | Career Chronicles
TRS-197 · Tariff Refund Suite™

You already handled the tariff. Now find out if you overpaid.

Section 301, Section 232, Section 122, and duty drawback — each with its own filing window, most of which close for good once they pass. This is the system that tracks them, and the Command Center that files them.

Click through the tour above — 17 connected workbook tabs plus the Command Center, annotated tab by tab. Use the arrow keys or the on-screen controls to navigate.

Four recovery programs. One place to track them.

Most refund opportunities get missed not because the money isn’t real, but because they’re scattered across four different filing systems with four different deadline clocks.

Section 301

Exclusion requests and Post Summary Corrections, tracked against their own filing window.

Section 232

Steel, aluminum, and auto-parts relief claims, matched to the right process from day one.

Section 122

Its own statute, its own letter — tracked separately from IEEPA and Section 301 language.

Duty Drawback

Recovery on re-exported goods, with eligibility and evidence tracked in one controlled home.

Generate Document does the paperwork for you

Every entry gets a Generate button. Pick the document, and it downloads pre-filled — your company info, that entry’s number, country, duty paid, estimated refund, HTSUS code — with the correct legal section already selected.

Seventeen workbook tabs. One live Command Center.

The workbook does the analysis — eligibility, forecasting, filing-path decisions, ROI. The Command Center turns that same data into something you can act on today.

01

Executive recommendation, in one sentence

Before you scroll to a single chart, the dashboard tells you in plain language where recovery stands right now — and whether anything overdue needs escalating today.

02

Recovery by program

Section 301, 232, 122, and duty drawback, each showing its own estimated refund, duty at risk, and share of the total portfolio — the first thing anyone asks about in a review.

03

One-click board deck

Same data, same numbers — toggle to Presentation Mode and it’s a five-slide, board-ready deck with presenter notes, no rebuilding a thing.

04

Nothing leaves your machine

One HTML file. No install, no login, no server. Entry numbers and duty amounts for real import transactions stay on your computer, not someone else’s.

Why this matters

A trade compliance specialist or customs broker paralegal typically bills $150–$250/hr to draft exactly this kind of filing. Generating even three documents for one entry can mean $150–$500 in replaced drafting time — and it’s unlimited, on every entry, for as long as you own the suite. A full recovery engagement through a licensed broker typically runs $15K–$35K.

Project Overview:

I want to be straight with you about how this got built, because I think it matters. I used Claude to write the code. That part was fast.

What made it work is that I’d already spent years building out the underlying library this runs on: the statutory timelines, the filing logic for each tariff section, the exact language CBP expects in a protest. That library existed before a single line of code did. The AI wrote the interface. The rules it’s running come from the same trade strategy work I’ve been doing since before TRS-197 existed.

So when you use this, you’re not trusting a black box. You’re trusting the same filing logic that’s been in the product from day one, just running faster and with fewer places to make a mistake.

We are built a 100% front-end, client-side automation system for the TRS-197 Tariff Refund Suite™. The tool integrates an interactive analytics dashboard with a “plug-and-play” document generator that runs entirely inside the user’s web browser tab requiring no backend servers, external databases, or premium hosting fees.

Key Capabilities

One-Click Export: With a single click, the tool merges the shared transaction variables and instantly generates a completed, perfectly styled legal document package (Worksheets, Form 19s, Protest Letters) delivered directly to the user’s native download folder.

Local Data Processing: Users import their internal customs data. The system processes the data entirely in the browser ensuring absolute data privacy for sensitive trade information.

Automated Rule Engine: The system automatically calculates critical regulatory timelines—such as the 180-day CBP protest deadline based on liquidation dates and Flags whether entries are “On Track” or “Overdue”.

Dynamic User Interface: A visual dashboard that adapts based on user selections. Selecting different tariff programs (such as Section 301, Section 232, or Section 122) dynamically alters the form fields to gather only the necessary data points required for that specific filing type.

Instant Document Package Generation: , the tool maps the form entries directly to pre-formatted Word templates (.docx) c
