April 20, 2026, CSMS # 68396594 - AVAILABLE NOW – Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) for IEEPA Refunds.
See: International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) Duty Refunds.
On April 20, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched the first phase of the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) tool in the Automated Commercial Environment Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal). CAPE will simplify International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) duty refund requests made pursuant to court order and in accordance with appropriate statutory authority by providing an electronic pathway to submit valid IEEPA duty refund claims.
CAPE is designed to consolidate refunds of IEEPA duties including interest rather than processing refunds on an entry-by-entry basis. CBP plans to implement CAPE through a phased development approach, adding more functionality in subsequent phases for more complicated scenarios. CAPE Phase 1 is limited to certain unliquidated entries and certain entries within 80 days of liquidation.
NOTE: Per CBP’s practice, liquidation typically occurs automatically 314 days after entry.
