Now It’s Time to Get Your Money Back [Financial](https://blog.catalystconnection.org/tag/financial)  |  April 15, 2026 May 15, 2026 | 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM Hosted by Catalyst Connection   Recent legal developments have created a pathway for U.S. manufacturers to recover certain tariffs paid between February 2025 and early 2026. Many companies across Southwestern Pennsylvania may already have refundable duties embedded in their cost structure without realizing it. For manufacturers navigating continued cost pressures and margin constraints, this represents a timely opportunity to recover cash and strengthen working capital performance in 2026. Catalyst Connection is hosting a webinar to help manufacturers understand what has changed, why eligibility may apply to their organization, and what actions companies should consider now to preserve potential refund opportunities. This session will provide a clear overview of the eligibility window, what documentation may be required, and how companies can quickly determine whether they have tariff exposure worth reviewing further. Manufacturers that import raw materials, components, machinery, equipment, or finished goods may be affected by these developments. Even companies that rely on customs brokers, distributors, or overseas suppliers may still qualify if they served as the importer of record during the applicable time period. In many cases, tariffs paid during 2025–2026 may not have been closely tracked internally, making this an important opportunity to revisit import data and identify recoverable costs. During this webinar, Catalyst Connection will provide clarity on what is currently known, what federal guidance is expected next, and how manufacturers can begin preparing documentation efficiently without disrupting operations. Participants will gain a practical understanding of what information to review, which dates matter, and how to coordinate internally or with external partners to assess potential eligibility. This session is designed to help manufacturers evaluate whether action is warranted. Spending a limited amount of time reviewing import activity may help companies avoid missing refund opportunities due to lack of awareness or incomplete documentation readiness.   Benefits of Attending - Understand why manufacturers may be eligible for tariff refunds in 2026 - Identify whether your company likely has refundable tariff exposure - Learn what types of import activity may qualify, including materials, components, and equipment - Understand which time periods matter and why timing considerations are important - Know what documentation may be required to support potential claims - Gain clarity on next steps without requiring deep trade compliance expertise - Evaluate potential financial impact on margins and working capital - Avoid missing recovery opportunities due to incomplete information or preparation   Who Should Attend This webinar is relevant for manufacturers that: - Import raw materials, components, or finished goods - Purchase machinery or production equipment internationally - Source from global suppliers, including China or other tariff-affected regions - Manage supply chain, procurement, finance, or operations responsibilities - Want to better understand cost recovery opportunities tied to recent trade developments   Event Details Date: May 15, 2026 Time: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM Format: Webinar Cost: No Cost   Catalyst Connection will continue monitoring federal guidance and sharing practical insights to help manufacturers respond efficiently as additional information becomes available.
