How do I know if I qualify for the IEEPA tariff refund?

To qualify for Phase 1 of the IEEPA tariff refund you need: an ACE portal account, a U.S. bank account registered for ACH refunds, unliquidated entries or entries liquidated within the past 80 days, and entries that paid IEEPA tariffs between April 2025 and February 2026. Use TariffGuru's free diagnostic tool to screen your specific entries.

What entry types are eligible for the CAPE tariff refund?

Phase 1 primarily covers Type 01 (Consumption) entries. Type 23 (TIB), drawback entries, USMCA duty-deferral entries, and entries with pending antidumping or countervailing duties are generally excluded from Phase 1 processing.

Do I need a U.S. bank account to get my IEEPA tariff refund?

Yes. CBP issues all IEEPA refunds via ACH electronic transfer to a U.S. bank account registered in the ACE Secure Data Portal. There is no paper check option and no workaround for foreign-only bank accounts in Phase 1.
