6/10/26 — CBP Reports $94.94 Billion in Refunds Accepted for Processing and $23.68 Billion Completed Through CAPE
On June 10, 2026, CBP's Executive Director of the Trade Programs Directorate, Brandon Lord, filed a declaration in Euro-Notions Florida, Inc. v. United States (Ct. No. 25-00595, CIT) responding to the court's May 27, 2026 order. The declaration provides the latest hard numbers on the agency's IEEPA refund effort through its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) system. All figures are as of 3:00 p.m. eastern time on Friday, June 5, 2026.
Declarations submitted and validated. As of June 5, 181,155 CAPE declarations had been submitted, of which 125,576 passed the file validations. The most common reasons for failing the file validations were importer-of-record or filer mismatches, entry number validation errors, and .CSV files not matching the ACE portal template.
Entries accepted and liquidated. The validated declarations cover 16.74 million entries with IEEPA duties that passed the entry-specific validations and were accepted for removal of IEEPA duties through CAPE. Of those, 10.60 million entries have since been liquidated and/or reliquidated without IEEPA duties. Another 3.99 million entries failed the entry-level validations—primarily because the entry date was past CBP's 90-day reliquidation authority, the entry did not contain a Chapter 99 HTS number used to assess IEEPA duties, or the entry was already filed on a prior CAPE declaration.
Refund dollars in the pipeline. Approximately $94.94 billion in both potential and certified refunds (duties plus interest) has been accepted for processing in CAPE. Of that total, approximately $23.68 billion in refunds has been completed using the CAPE Refund component, certified by CBP, and sent to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for disbursement. CBP reports that its financial accounting system receives updates from Treasury indicating these certified refunds are being regularly disbursed, and the agency continues to review and finalize the remaining potential refunds through CAPE's Review and Liquidation/Reliquidation component.
A reminder for importers. As of June 5, 5,535 consolidated refunds had not been transmitted to Treasury because the importer of record (or its authorized CBP Form 4811 designee) had not provided Automated Clearing House (ACH) account information. Importers expecting refunds should confirm their ACH banking details are on file so disbursements are not held up.
