At Chairish, we’re keeping a close watch on shifting U.S. tariff policy so you don’t have to. Our priority is making sure your experience remains seamless and transparent, even as regulations evolve.
To reduce the likelihood of surprise bills, we estimate and collect duties and tariffs at checkout and take care of import processes for you.
When falling in love with a piece from abroad, please keep in mind that duties are determined by the item’s value, origin, and destination. While we strive to calculate your full costs upfront, customs processes may occasionally require payments at different stages of the journey. If tariff policy changes between your purchase and delivery, you will be responsible for any additional fees. We will reach out to you as soon as possible if this situation applies to your purchases.
Tariff Refunds
Following the Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs, Chairish is working with our import partners to recoup funds paid under the IEEPA tariff policy. If we're refunded for tariffs paid on your order, we'll return those funds to you. Chairish will absorb all costs associated with these refunds, including administrative fees charged by our import partners.
If your order is affected, here's what to expect:
- We'll reach out with an invitation to opt in to your refund.
- Once we receive the funds from our import partners, we'll send them to you via your original payment method.
- If your original payment method is no longer valid, we will provide you with a discount code for use on a future order.
1. Why am I getting a refund?
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unlawful. As a result, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is required to refund IEEPA tariffs that were collected on eligible imports. If you paid one of these tariffs on an item purchased through Chairish, and we successfully recoup the amount paid, we will credit you the amount refunded.
2. Why is my refund less than the total tariffs paid?
Only tariffs collected specifically under IEEPA are eligible. This includes a 10% baseline "reciprocal" tariff and any country-specific emergency tariffs applied between February 1, 2025 and February 23, 2026. It does not include other duties, which remain in effect and are not refundable through this process.
3. How is my refund amount calculated?
We will refund you based on the amount refunded to Chairish.
4. How will I receive my refund?
We will pass your refund through to you via your original payment method once we receive the funds. If your original payment method is no longer valid, we will provide you with a discount code for use on a future order.
5. When will I get my refund?
You will be notified that your refund is available shortly after we receive the funds. The refund process is limited by the government's processing speed. We share your eagerness to have the funds settled and assure you that we’re working with our import partners as a top priority.
6. Do I need to do anything to claim my refund?
Yes, when we contact you informing you that you’re eligible for a refund, please opt in via the provided form promptly.
10. Do I have to pay any fees?
No. Chairish is absorbing all processing fees charged by our import partners, as well as all operational expenses associated with submitting, tracking, and processing the refunds.
