The landscape for U.S. importers has shifted. Following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling invalidating International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs, businesses now have a historic window to recover unlawfully collected duties.
To facilitate this, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched Phase 1 of the CAPE (Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries) system on April 20, 2026. This phase is critical for importers with unliquidated entries or those within 80 days of liquidation.
