We IncentivizeU.S. Customs and Border Protection uses the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) process in the ACE Portal for covered IEEPA duty refund requests. Eligibility depends on the entry, IEEPA Chapter 99 code, liquidation status, importer or filer role, and current phase rules. Refunds are not automatic, and non-IEEPA duty layers generally follow separate procedures.
We help importers and brokers collect entry data, isolate potentially covered IEEPA duties, identify exclusions, confirm ACE and ACH refund readiness, prepare upload information, and organize supporting records. Because CBP guidance can change, each engagement is reviewed against the current official instructions before submission.

Step _01
We organize entry numbers, dates, tariff codes, duty amounts, liquidation status, filer information, and existing protest or litigation facts.
Step _02
Potentially covered entries are separated from excluded, out-of-window, reconciliation, drawback, AD/CVD, warehouse, or surety-paid situations.
Step _03
Required data is standardized, validated, and organized for the current CAPE declaration process and responsible filer.
Step _04
The importer or authorized broker submits through ACE, while confirmation records, error responses, and refund support are retained.
An entry may contain IEEPA duties alongside Section 232, Section 301, antidumping, countervailing, and other duty layers. A careful review avoids treating the entire payment as refundable when only a specific layer may be covered.
This service supports data organization and process readiness. Customs counsel, the importer, and the authorized filer should address legal positions, protests, litigation, and final submission authority.
CAPE is CBP’s Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries tool in the ACE Portal for covered IEEPA duty refund declarations.
No. CAPE focuses on covered IEEPA duties. Other duty layers—such as Section 232, Section 301, antidumping, and countervailing duties—may remain payable or require separate procedures.
Refunds generally relate to the Importer of Record or a properly designated party, subject to CBP rules, account setup, and filing authority.
Entry numbers, filing and liquidation dates, Chapter 99 codes, duty amounts, ACE Portal access, ACH refund enrollment, filer information, and any protest or litigation details should be reviewed.
Yes. CBP has rolled CAPE out in phases and may update instructions, windows, errors, and excluded entry types. Current official guidance should be checked before every filing.
