We'll help you figure out which refund phase each entry may fall under and what has to wait.
Your account setup
We'll walk you through confirming your importer number and refund bank details are set up in ACE.
Problems to fix first
We'll point out the mistakes that commonly get refund requests rejected, like wrong entry numbers.
Where do you stand?
Answer two quick questions to see what applies to your entries.
Your answer will show up here
It takes two taps. Not sure about your entries? That's what the Readiness Review is for.
If your entries aren't closed out yet
Likely openYou may be able to file now
Entries CBP hasn't finalized, or finalized in the last 80 days, go under Phase 1. Entries flagged for reconciliation, with no reconciliation filed yet, go under Phase 2.
Finalized more than 80 days ago? CAPE won't take those, but a formal dispute, called a protest, may still be an option while the window's open. Ask your broker soon.

OpenPhase 3 may be open to you
Phase 3 only covers entries the court has ordered CBP to reopen. You can file first if you gave CBP your importer number by July 30, 2026. If you gave it later, CBP says it'll send separate instructions.

Courts decidingPhase 3 doesn't cover you yet
The government has appealed whether importers who didn't sue can get refunds on closed-out entries, and the courts haven't decided. Ask a customs attorney about deadlines that may apply.

Before you request a review
Is my refund automatic?
No. Someone has to file a refund request with CBP, called a CAPE Declaration, and it has to pass CBP's checks before any money moves.
Do I need a lawyer?
For entries that are still open, usually not. For entries that are already closed out, the path to a refund currently runs through the Court of International Trade, so talk with a customs attorney.
What if another broker filed my entries?
Only you or the broker who filed your entries can submit the refund request. We can still help you gather the right information, get organized, and coordinate with your broker or attorney.
What happens after I send the form?
Someone from our customs team will reach out to talk through your situation and what you'll need.
Want help sorting this out?
Send us what you have, even if it's incomplete. We'll help you get organized and figure out the next step.
