In April 2026, we told you Algrano had already filed your tariff claimback with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and that we'd update you the moment we had real news. We do now.
We've received confirmation that the tariffs paid on green coffee moved through Algrano have been approved for return. Here's what we can confirm today, and what happens between now and when your refund reaches you.
What we can confirm
- The tariffs you paid are coming back. That part isn't in question anymore. What's left is finishing the paperwork on our end.
- Financing costs aren't part of this refund. When we paid tariffs on your behalf ahead of invoicing you, a small financing cost was added to cover the time we carried that cost for you. The government's refund covers the tariff itself, not that financing — so the tariff is what we're passing back. In almost every case, this difference comes to a few dollars per shipment.
- Every tariff invoice we issued gets closed out with a credit note. What happens to that credit is what differs:
- If you have open orders or invoices with Algrano, it's applied straight against your balance — nothing further for you to do.
- If your account is closed, no coffee left with us and nothing in the pipeline, that credit converts into a direct bank transfer, and we'll reach out to arrange it.
- You still don't need to do anything. If we need bank details from you for a direct transfer, we'll ask you for them directly when the time comes.
What happens next
Once we've verified the numbers for your specific shipments, we'll reach out to you directly with your exact amount and next steps. We know waiting is the hard part when it's real money you're owed. We'd rather take the extra time to get your number right than rush it and have to correct it later.
We're here for you
If you have questions about your specific shipments or contracts, reach out to your sales manager or our support team at support@algrano.com. We're happy to walk you through it.
