The following was taken in part from CSMS# 68536553:

To help the trade prepare and monitor Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) declaration submissions, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has provided multiple ACE Reports products.

On April 20th, CBP released the CAPE tool in the ACE Portal to streamline the submission and processing of valid refund requests for duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). After CBP review, the US Treasury Department will issue refunds via Automated Clearing House (ACH). IEEPA refund ACH transactions will begin as early as May 12th. For more information on submitting CAPE Declarations, review CBP’s IEEPA Duty Refunds webpage. 

Below is an overview of the available reports provided by CBP:

ES-022: CAPE Entry Summary Report

This report links CAPE declaration, entry, and refund numbers to help track the refund process and displays refund amounts separated by principal and interest.

REV-603: Trade Refund Report

This report enables trade users to track CAPE declarations that have one of the following “Refund Secondary Statuses” after the refund is received by Treasury.

• Sent to Treasury – This status indicates that Treasury has received an approved refund claim.
• Treasury Issued – This status indicates that a refund has been issued.
• Funds Diverted – This status indicates that funds have been diverted for an existing bill. Diversion occurs after liquidation of the entry summary, before the refund is issued.
• Check/ACH Returned – This status occurs when refunds are rejected due to incomplete ACH Refund enrollment.

For help running this report, review the ACE Reports Trade Refund Report Quick Reference Card (QRC).

REV-613: ACH Rejected Refunds Report

This report provides information on refunds that have been rejected due to incomplete ACH Refund enrollment. For help running this report, review the ACE Reports Trade Refund Report Quick Reference Card (QRC).
