CBP Deploys Next Phase of CAPE IEEPA Refunds

Posted by Timothy Miller on 6/29/26 5:00 PM

In a Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) bulletin published on June 29, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that it had successfully deployed phase 2 of the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) application in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Portal.

This update now allows importers or their authorized customs brokers to be able to file CAPE declarations on 01, 02, or 06 entries flagged for reconciliation that have not yet had the 09 reconciliation entry filed. Like phase 1, these entries will be limited to unliquidated entries and entries that have been liquidated within 80 days of the CAPE declaration filing date.
