With operations spanning 55+ countries and a carrier network that supports multimodal freight solutions worldwide, ensuring carrier compliance at scale is a critical operational priority.

Guidance and Action Plan Regarding IEEPA Tariff Refunds (4/28/26)
TL;DR 👉 on April 28, CBP filed a declaration to CIT updating the IEEPA tariff refund process through CAPE.
𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
- As of 8:00 PM on Sunday, April 26, 2026, a total of 75,306 CAPE declarations had been submitted, of which 47,315 successfully passed file-level validations, representing an approximate 60% pass rate at the file validation stage.
- The CAPE declarations that passed file-level validations comprised 11,222,927 entries with IEEPA duties, which also satisfied entry-specific validations and were accepted for the removal of IEEPA duties through CAPE. CBP reported that 2,124,394 entries—approximately 18.9% of the entries that passed file-level validations—were rejected due to failure to meet entry-specific validation requirements.
- Of the 11,222,927 accepted entries, approximately 1,740,000 entries, or 15.5%, have been liquidated and are currently in the refund process.
- CBP indicated that it will continue to monitor the process and address any issues as they arise to ensure that CAPE continues to operate as intended.

As always, Logistics Plus is here to support you through this process.
