IEEPA Refund Updates: CBP Targets May 11 for First IEEPA Duty Refunds

On April 28, 2026, Judge Richard K. Eaton of the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an Order in Euro-Notions Florida, Inc. v. United States, et al. (Court No. 25-00595) addressing early implementation progress for CBP’s new Automated Commercial Environment (“ACE”) functionality designed to refund International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) duties, including interest. The order follows CBP’s rollout of Phase 1 of its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) tool on April 20, 2026, and reflects issues raised during a closed conference held on April 28 regarding access, usability, and the treatment of certain categories of entries.
