Tariff Refunds – Final Update August 2026

In our April 2026 update, Royal New York had an opportunity to begin the tariff refund process. We submitted claims through the CBP CAPE portal and committed to passing recovered funds to our customers who paid tariffs on green coffee in parts of 2025. Now, we can happily say that process is complete.

Royal New York has officially received all of our tariff refunds from the U.S. government, and we have issued tariff credit notes (via email) to every customer who purchased coffee impacted by tariffs.

How Do I Use My Tariff Refunds Credit?

What began as a complicated, uncertain process has now come full circle. After working through the government filing and refunding, we tracked all affected transactions. All recovered funds have been distributed to impacted customers via Account Credits.

Since being issued, most customers have already redeemed their tariff credits through subsequent green coffee purchases. However, we know that some customers still have a remaining tariff credit available. That money is still available to you and can be applied toward future coffee orders.

If you believe you have an unused tariff credit, have questions about how your credit was applied, or would like to put your remaining credit toward your next purchase of green coffee, please contact your trader. They can review your account, confirm your credit, and help you use it. Please note: If you typically order via our website, you will need to call the office and speak to a trader to redeem your tariff credit.

Thank You for Your Continued Support

Most importantly, we’d like to thank all those involved, especially our customers, suppliers, customs brokers, IT developers, and accountants. While tariffs were certainly a challenge, our industry adapted, learned, and managed the saga from beginning to end.

Whatever comes next, Royal New York is here and ready for the challenge.
