CIT Issues Order with Specific Updates Related to CAPE Phase 3 Finally Liquidated Entry Eligibility for IEEPA Refunds
On July 15, 2026, the Court of International Trade (CIT) issued an order which is the clearest indication of the next steps for addressing the status of finally liquidated entries where IEEPA tariffs were paid. Specifically, the CIT expects U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Customs) to launch Phase 3 of its CAPE platform for tariff refunds.
