CSMS # 68536553 – CBP Offers Multiple ACE Reports for Monitoring CAPE Refund Claims

On April 20, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) tool in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Portal to streamline the submission and processing of valid refund requests for duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). After CBP review, the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) will issue refunds via Automated Clearing House (ACH). IEEPA refund ACH transactions will begin as early as May 12, 2026. For more information on submitting CAPE Declarations, review CBP’s IEEPA Duty Refunds webpage.  

To help the trade community prepare and monitor CAPE declaration submissions, CBP has provided multiple ACE Reports products. Below is an overview of the available reports:

1. ES-022: CAPE Entry Summary Report
