Don't Leave Your IEEPA Refund on the Table

    CBP's CAPE (Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries) process is your window to recover IEEPA duties — but navigating ACE reports, entry data, and the ACE Portal submission process isn't simple. If your broker isn't returning your calls, or your large brokerage house just doesn't have the bandwidth right now, we do.

    Strix Customs Brokerage offers flat-fee CAPE consultation services — even for entries we didn't originally file. Here's what that looks like:

    We know the process.

    We've successfully guided clients through accepted CAPE declarations on entries originally filed by other brokers. Flat fee. No percentage of your refund.

    We do the heavy lifting.

    Our licensed customs brokers walk you step-by-step through the entire process: pulling your ACE entry summary data, preparing your CAPE declaration, submitting it through your ACE Importer account, and verifying your ACH banking is set up correctly so your refund actually arrives.

    Your refund goes directly to you.

    The declaration is filed under your ACE Importer account — your refund, your account, your records.

    Your window depends on your entries.

    CAPE Phase 1 eligibility is tied to each entry's liquidation date — not a single calendar deadline — and once a declaration is accepted, it cannot be amended. The sooner you know which of your entries qualify, the sooner you can apply for your eligible refund.

    Tell us about your situation through the form below and one of our Licensed Customs Brokers will contact you to discuss the options available to you.

    Are you the Importer of Record for these entries? *

    The IOR is the entity legally responsible for the import. You must be the IOR — or their authorized agent — to file a CAPE declaration.

    Do you have ACE Importer Portal access? *

    ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) is CBP's online trade portal. The CAPE declaration is submitted through your ACE Importer account. We can walk you through the access setup if needed.

    Do you have a U.S. bank account set up for ACH refunds? *

    CBP issues all refunds electronically via ACH. Your banking information must be enrolled in ACE before a refund can be deposited.

    A rough estimate is fine. This helps us understand the scope of your situation before we connect.
