CAPE refunds: Step-by-step guide for ES 003 report
Lots of supply chain folks trying to understand the esoteric ACE portal.. so I made this guide to give clear instructions for how to pull an ES-003 report. Don't thank me, I'd rather make one post than waste time explaining repeatedly to every client, I'm lazy in a productive way
Steps:
- Log in to ACE. Go to the ACE Website and select Trade / PGA User Login. Use this login for all future ACE sessions.
- Select your importer account. Once signed in, open the Accounts dropdown and choose Importer.
- On the right side of the screen, click Reports.
- A new tab opens. Click Folders.
- Find the Entry Summary folder. In the left sidebar, expand Public Folders → ACE → Trade → Importer → Entry Summary, then click Entry Summary inside that folder.
- Select the ES-003 report. The right pane will show a list of Entry Summary reports. Click ES-003 Entry Summary Line Tariff Details.
- A new page loads with a parameter pop-up. Wait a moment for it to finish loading, then locate Trade Account ACE ID. On the right, search for and select your Account Name.
- Set the start date. Click Entry Date (Begin) in the left column. In the field on the right, enter 2/1/2025 and press Enter. (You can also use the calendar icon )
- Set the end date. Click Entry Date (End) in the left column. Enter 3/1/2026 in the right-hand field and press Enter. (again, you can also use the calendar icon)
- With all three fields set (Trade Account ACE ID, Entry Date Begin, Entry Date End), click Run at the bottom right of the pop-up. The report will start generating; this can take a few minutes. Stay on the page and do not close the window.
- Wait for results. Once finished, the report will appear in the window.
- Download the report. In the top-left toolbar, click the Download icon. A pop-up will prompt you to choose a file type. Leave the defaults as-is and click Export at the bottom right.
- Upload to a tariff refund platform to run your IEEPA refund calculation and prepare your refund claims.
