Tariff Refunds, the CAPE System, & Practical Strategies for Today's Importers.
IEEPA tariff refunds are moving forward, but the process is complex and requires action. In this webinar, Michael D. Easton, president of Star USA, walks through CBP’s CAPE rollout and how to prepare for refunds. He also covers key risks like rejected entries, refund discrepancies, and impacts on liquidation timelines.
Beyond refunds, the broader tariff landscape (Sections 232, 301, 122) remains active and uncertain, making it critical to stay coordinated with brokers and monitor submissions closely.
Quick Tip: Make sure your ACE account is set up with ACH before submitting any claims.
Topics Include:
- Setting up your ACE importer account + ACH details
- Identifying eligible entries
- Submitting CAPE declarations (starting April 20)
