CSMS #69035485 · UPDATE – Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) for IEEPA Refunds - Entries Flagged for Reconciliation

📌 ETDETA brief — importer impact summary (educational)

Brief takeaway: CBP is expanding its CAPE tool so importers can process IEEPA duty refunds on certain entries flagged for reconciliation even before the reconciliation entry is filed.

What changed: According to the notice, effective June 29, 2026, CBP's CAPE tool will accept entries flagged for reconciliation (entry types 01, 02, 06) for which the reconciliation entry (type 09) has not yet been filed. The notice states this builds on CAPE Phase 1 (launched April 20, 2026) for processing refunds of IEEPA duties, and that all Phase 1 filing and processing requirements remain in effect.

Who's affected: The notice cites entries flagged for reconciliation under entry types 01, 02, and 06, limited to unliquidated entries and entries within 80 days of liquidation. It names IEEPA duties as the duties being removed through the CAPE process. Specific products, HTS chapters, and countries of origin are not specified in this notice.

What to review:
- Review whether any of your flagged entries fall within the entry types (01, 02, 06) and timing limits described.
- Confirm with your broker how the CAPE declaration and subsequent reconciliation entry (type 09) should be sequenced.
- Check the referenced CSMS #68340863 for the underlying Phase 1 filing and processing requirements.
- Confirm the June 29, 2026 availability date and applicable procedures with CBP or your broker.
