IEEPA tariff refund estimator

Only the importer of record, or the licensed customs broker that filed the entries, can claim an IEEPA refund through CAPE. If a supplier or seller acted as importer of record, the refund goes to them, not to you; check your contract or ask them directly.

1. 1
   Get ACE Portal access

   The importer of record or the licensed broker that filed the entries needs an ACE Portal account. Claims are not filed through ABI, and attorneys cannot file on an importer's behalf.

2. 2
   Enroll for ACH refunds

   Add refund bank details in the Importer sub-account. Every IEEPA refund is paid by ACH, and refunds are held until bank details are on file. A CBP Form 4811 sends the refund to a designated notify party.

3. 3
   Find your entries with the ES-003 report

   Run the Entry Summary Line Tariff Details report (ES-003) with the IEEPA tariff indicator and the liquidation date field. It lists the lines where IEEPA duties were assessed.

4. 4
   Check the deadline for each entry

   CAPE accepts unliquidated entries and entries within 80 days of liquidation. For an entry liquidated longer ago, file a protest within 180 days of liquidation to keep the claim.

5. 5
   Upload a CAPE declaration

   Upload a CSV of entry numbers, up to 9,999 per declaration. Accepted declarations get a claim number. A declaration cannot be amended, and an entry can appear on only one accepted declaration.

6. 6
   Track the refund

   CBP removes the IEEPA duties and liquidates or reliquidates the entry. Track claims in ES-022 and payments in REV-603. REV-613 shows rejected ACH refunds. CBP says refunds generally issue 60 to 90 days after acceptance.

CAPE opened on April 20, 2026 for unliquidated entries and entries within 80 days of liquidation. Since June 29, 2026 it also accepts entries flagged for reconciliation where no reconciliation entry is on file yet. CBP says warehouse, drawback, reconciliation, open protest and finally liquidated entries will be handled in later phases or not at all, so do not wait on deadlines you control.

• Section 232 duties on steel, aluminum, copper, autos and parts, lumber and other goods.
• Section 301 duties on goods of China.
• Section 122 duties charged from February 24, 2026.
• Normal MFN duty, antidumping and countervailing duties, MPF and HMF.

Goods subject to Section 232 were generally not charged the reciprocal tariff in the first place, and many products were excluded (Annex II goods, informational materials, donations, some farm goods from November 13, 2025). The estimator does not check these, so use the IEEPA lines on your entry summaries or the ES-003 report for exact amounts.
