For those who received the funds already,

have you received all the refunds at once ?

or most likely there will be several refunds (split) ?

How do you set entry summary date ?

Should i set it as 1/1/2025 ~ today’s date ?

Do you set any filter other than entry summary date ?

Because when i run es003, i dont see all entries there.

For example, i submitted 110 entries but i only see 51 entries in es003.

Not sure why, so far i haven’t seen any rejection in rev615 report.

I dont know if this is simply because CBP is still processing the refund. I filed on 5/4/2026

Hi,

I heard that now filing CAPE & Protest at the same time are impossible. We need to file either one of them.

Final liquidation date would be Oct 2026.

Now our company has to file the protest for the auto part tariff and fight back.

We believe our commodity is not subject to auto part tariff but CBP recently sent us CF29 and explained we need to pay auto part tariff 25 %.

And these entries are eligible for IEEPA refunds.

Scenario 1.

We file the auto part protest firstly and then file CAPE in phase 2.

Risk : we don't know when we are going to have phase 2. We have risks that the entries get all finally liquidated before phase 2 comes.

=> Then we will lose the opportunity to get IEEPA refunds.

Scenario 2.

We file CAPE firstly and as soon as the refund gets received, we file the auto part tariff protest.

Risk : I don't even know if we can file CAPE now since CBP recently touched the entries by issuing CF29 and quick liquidation for the auto part tariff adjustment.

Even if we can file CAPE, if the refund cannot be finalized by Oct 2026, we lose the opportunity to protest for the auto part tariff.

=> This will potentially impact our business in a negative way

I believe our company has more risk on Scenario 2 so I might go with Scenario 1 but what would you do if you were me ?

First time i thought my neighbour swapped unintentionally.

I checked the security camera and found out the this garbage man swapped it with my neighbour’s when he put it back.

So annoying.

I guess my neighbour did not notice but i noticed because his trash bin is cracked. Mine is not.

Now i am having his cracked trash bin 😂.

Should i tell him that the bin got swapped or let it go ?

What would you do ?

maybe i misinterpreted the thing but according to https://www.cbp.gov/trade/programs-administration/trade-remedies/ieepa-duty-refunds ,

they will include "entries for which liquidation is final (last row)" in upcoming phases.

I guess the court/CBP might be planning to refund everything including the finally liquidated entries.

We still don't know yet but at least this is something positive in the meantime.

So far, i have seen nobody got the refund yet.

I checked with people around me.

Hello, i am an importer.

Our company recently got CF29.

It will result higher duty rate and payment for us.

Whatever it says on CF29, we do not agree with it.

So we will file protests.

In the meantime, we will follow CBP instruction in CF29 to avoid more flag & audit from cbp.

My question would be …

If we win the protest, later can we correct those entries we followed CBP instruction in CF29 and get those money back (the duty difference)?

Also ,how long does it roughly take to hear back about the protest after filing ?

Yesterday our company finally submitted for the phase 1. All entries got accepted with zero error. I appreciate everyone’s help. I have inquired a lot here.

Now i am trying to search this info in this forum.

Which report would be the best for tracking the refund ?

A few ideas i got from here was es003 , rev615, rev603

Anything else you would recommend?

So in phase 1 , we only submit any entries unliquidated plus liquidate within 80 days.

For the 80 days thing, is it 80 days from today or 4/20 CAPE launching date ?

For entries liquidated more than 80 days, what would be the best action for now ? (CAPE)

should we submit CAPE declaration firstly ? i guess no harm to try the submission because i heard that sometimes CBP still accepts even though the entries were liquidated more than 80 days.

And then If those get rejected, I just file form 19 protest and wait for Phase II ? maybe this would be the best action at this moment ?

your opinion / suggestion would be much appreciated.

Hi , I am an importer in USA.

I thought initially CAPE might be a simple entry # upload thing but I feel like there are lots of hidden risks/things that we are not fully aware.

Generally saying, would it be worth it to file through a customs broker ?

Sorry this might a silly question.

let's assume we got rejected for some of entries due to the opened protest / on-going PSC / the entry liquidated more than 80 days.

Do you think we could submit those entries again in Phase 2 or 3 ?

or after CAPE ever rejects once, we will not be able to submit again ?
