CBP Expands CAPE for IEEPA Duty Refunds
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the expansion of the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) tool to process refunds of duties under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), effective June 29, 2026.
Key Changes
Entries flagged for reconciliation without a reconciliation entry filed
Entry types: 01, 02, and 06
Entries must be unliquidated or within 80 days prior to liquidation
CAPE will remove IEEPA duties from flagged entries before the reconciliation entry is filed, separating the IEEPA duty refund from reconciliation calculations.
Once a reconciliation entry (type 09) is filed, the underlying entries cannot be submitted again in CAPE.
Entries with reconciliation entry already filed
Not included in this phase.
Reconciliation should be prioritized if the filing deadline is near (less than 30 days).
Will be incorporated in future phases of CAPE.
Financial Impact*
Over 16 million entries processed
Over $89 billion in potential and certified IEEPA duty refunds accepted for processing
Approximately $22 billion already disbursed to the U.S. Treasury
*These figures are based on official CBP communications presented to the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) and reported by the NCBFAA brokers’ committee, and are considered official data from the U.S. authority.
Legal Context
The Department of Justice (DOJ) requested that the CIT maintain the suspension of immediate compliance pending appeals.
CBP will continue monitoring implementation and provide updates as new phases and requirements are deployed.
Recommendations for Trade
Ensure entries meet eligibility requirements before submitting in CAPE.
Contact your CBP Client Representative or the ACE Help Desk for any submission errors.
