He also emphasizes that tariffs are likely to remain in place through different legal mechanisms, making it critical for importers to strengthen internal compliance processes, improve documentation, and stay closely aligned with brokers and supply chain partners.
Topics Include:
- How to track refunds using ESO 22, REV 603, and REV 615 reports
- Common CAPE submission and refund tracking issues
- Updates on Section 122 litigation and future tariff actions
- Ongoing impacts from Sections 232 and 301 tariffs
Quick Tip: Use the ESO 22 report together with REV 603 and REV 615 reports to better track refund status and reconcile Treasury deposits.
