On March 27, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a bulletin via its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) reminding the trade of the requirements to receiving refunds from the agency. 

The CSMS bulletin includes a number of resources for the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Portal and the Automated Clearing House (ACH) refund enrollment process. 

CBP began issuing electronic-only refunds on February 6, 2026.
