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.
