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:

  1. Log in to ACE. Go to the ACE Website and select Trade / PGA User Login. Use this login for all future ACE sessions.
  2. Select your importer account. Once signed in, open the Accounts dropdown and choose Importer.
  3. On the right side of the screen, click Reports.
  4. A new tab opens. Click Folders.
  5. Find the Entry Summary folder. In the left sidebar, expand Public Folders → ACE → Trade → Importer → Entry Summary, then click Entry Summary inside that folder.
  6. Select the ES-003 report. The right pane will show a list of Entry Summary reports. Click ES-003 Entry Summary Line Tariff Details.
  7. 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.
  8. 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 )
  9. 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)
  10. 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.
  11. Wait for results. Once finished, the report will appear in the window.
  12. 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.
  13. Upload to a tariff refund platform to run your IEEPA refund calculation and prepare your refund claims.
