CAMS # 68397554 - AVAILABLE NOW - Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) for IEEPA Refunds

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has activated the first phase of the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) tool in the Automated Commercial Environment Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal). Importers and authorized customs brokers can now file their CAPE Declarations through their ACE Portal accounts.

CAPE is designed to consolidate refunds of IEEPA duties, including interest, rather than processing refunds on an entry-by-entry basis. CAPE Phase 1 is limited to certain unliquidated entries and certain entries within 80 days of liquidation.

To learn more about the CAPE tool and related changes for CBP personnel, review the CBP User Information Notice.

For specific guidance related to using CAPE and the new Advanced Trade Analytics Program (ATAP) Helping Entry Refund Operations (HERO) Dashboard, review the following memo: Guidance for CAPE and HERO Dashboard

CBP also published the following training resources for CBP users:

CAPE Refunds Quick Reference Card
