U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has completed the successful deployment for enhancements to the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) application in the Automated Commercial Environment Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal). Importers and authorized customs brokers can now include in their CAPE declarations, submitted in the ACE Portal, entries flagged for reconciliation (entry types 01, 02, 06) for which the reconciliation entry (entry type 09) has not been filed. Consistent with CAPE Phase 1, the entries flagged for reconciliation will be limited to unliquidated entries and entries that have been liquidated within 80 days of the CAPE declaration filing date.
As a reminder, all filing and processing requirements from the first phase of CAPE remain in effect. For detailed information, please see CSMS # 68340863 – UPDATE – Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) for IEEPA Refunds, April 20, 2026, Deployment
If you encounter any errors in filing a CAPE declaration, contact your CBP client representative or the ACE Help Desk.
Questions regarding this message should be directed to CBP at IEEPAREFUNDS@cbp.dhs.gov.
