CBP is designing CAPE with four integrated components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Claim Portal,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mass Processing,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review and Liquidation\/Reliquidation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refund<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These components reflect both how CBP anticipates refund requests will proceed through CAPE and how CBP is structuring its development efforts. Each of these components, along with an update on its development, is discussed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CAPE Claim Portal will be web-based and serve as the entry point for importers and brokers to submit IEEPA refund requests (\u201cCAPE Declaration\u201d) to CBP. Once operational, a new tab will be available in both importer and broker ACE Portal accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBP estimates that the ACE upgrades are already 70% completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See full Declaration here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oytfejhbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001UUVXuEhYYSA8dHAoG74F-_KCSP_pn7rNFoE9IZr0SCTvb3HklrxhRwl4ThYUCGs2wAj5hctbn9j3mXToHWHGLPcD9Duu1z322Nj3g6y0U57cJHqeaAudDLkD2CeXKTShUvPBXsFrBbTGG6Do1fjBoaUGAz4C0RApoRjL333DfJexAVv1rzXkLPwTMtVV9gQKZyg3P-5cnqf9GRQlwbtfISYNlZYu1tovQlxSdzQTujzyV17LldfzUFxJ2vI8yVYf&amp;c=ieX_dgrOoW7imvwQOJDj8rtL2ALwfXgKdcr8iCXRoU1AXEXp05wdpw==&amp;ch=drxkx7Mu89PwB9VXeHGmtndN4cILgt6qWnooJ7fkXyPu2AnXlspxSA==\">https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.cit.19346\/gov.uscourts.cit.19346.39.0_1.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.
