Why This Service Exists

On March 27, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered CBP to refund all IEEPA duties collected between February 4, 2025 and February 24, 2026, plus 7% statutory interest under 19 USC §1505(b) accruing daily from the original deposit date. CBP launched Phase 1 of its CAPE refund portal on April 20, 2026, but filing a compliant claim still requires detailed entry data, statutory interest calculations, and active deadline management. That is precisely what this service automates — under the direction of a licensed customs lawyer.
