Marketplace's Megan McCarty Carino has that one.

We were talking yesterday about the government's tariff refund website having opened up this past week.

Businesses mostly looking to get back their share of the $166 billion the Trump administration collected illegally.

Today, another occupant of those trade and tariff trenches, Gretchen Blau.

She's our customs brokerage manager at Logistics Plus in Erie, Pennsylvania.

I've been spending my week working in the Cape Portal.

The Cape Portal is where you apply for the IEPA refunds.

So my week's been spent a lot with importers making sure that they're registered for those electronic refunds.

Our smaller customers were a little bit daunted by the process.

So rather than...

do a basic help desk for them.

We decided to just do it on their behalf.

there are 11,600 some entry numbers.

The files I'm uploading, I just use the analogy of they're like the old school Christmas lights.

If one bulbs out, they're all out.

The entire file fails.

So if there's a problem with one line number, you have to find that particular line number and see what the problem is and then go from there.

IT says I might be killing my computer.

The sound stopped working.

I have two additional monitors and they started strobing like they were at a rave because the computer's overheating.
