ACE Portal: CAPE Declarations | U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Summary: This Quick Reference Guide (Publication No. 5514-0426, April 2026) outlines the process for trade users to submit CAPE Declarations via the ACE Portal to obtain consolidated IEEPA refunds.

The Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) Declarations guide provides step-by-step instructions for importers, filers, and organizational brokers to submit entry numbers for IEEPA refunds. The process involves downloading a CSV template from the ACE Portal, populating it with up to 10,000 entry numbers, and uploading it for validation. The guide covers file format requirements, initial validation checks, batch processing, and how to review status details and error reports for rejected entries. Phase 1 of the CAPE deployment is limited to specific unliquidated entries and entries no more than 80 days past liquidation.
