The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has rolled out the refund of duties previously collected under the IEEPA through the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) tool. 

Please be advised that only the U.S. Importer of Record (IOR) or the authorized customs broker who filed the entry may submit refund claims.  

Philippine exporters are encouraged to coordinate closely with their U.S. importers to confirm whether IEEPA duties were paid and to establish clear arrangements on how any recovered amounts will be handled, especially where there have been cost-sharing arrangements. Exporters may also support their U.S. partners by providing the required documents for the refund to be processed.  

For further guidance, stakeholders may refer to the official CBP IEEPA Duty Refunds page or contact CBP directly at IEEPARefunds@cbp.dhs.gov for technical concerns and Traderelations@cbp.dhs.gov for general inquiries.
