See What You're Owed in IEEPA Tariff Refunds

CAPE,  the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries, is the new electronic refund portal that Customs and Border Protection built specifically to handle IEEPA refunds at scale. It lives inside ACE, the same system that licensed importers and customs brokers already use to file entries, declare goods, and communicate with CBP.

The agency designed CAPE around a single principle: process refunds in bulk rather than one entry at a time. That matters because some importers brought in thousands of shipments during the IEEPA period. Filing a separate refund request for each one would have collapsed the system. Instead, importers (or their brokers) upload a single CSV file listing every entry number they want refunded, and CBP processes the entire batch as one declaration.
