The US government today launched an online portal for submitting tariff refund requests, two months after the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump illegally imposed tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
While refunds will be paid to importers and customs brokers, consumers who paid higher prices due to the tariffs will not necessarily receive reimbursement.
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) opened the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) portal for IEEPA refunds.
"Importers and authorized customs brokers can now file their CAPE Declarations,"a CBP bulletin stated.
Tariff Payments and Refund Eligibility
According to a March 6 court filing by a CBP trade office official, over 330,000 importers paid a total of $166 billion in IEEPA duties as of March 4.
Despite the portal’s launch to comply with the Supreme Court ruling, reports indicate the Trump administration is exploring legal avenues to avoid repaying the full $166 billion.
