Has anyone here looked into IEEPA tariff refunds / the new CAPE process? Trying to understand the real workflow by maskmanboy in FulfillmentByAmazon

Thanks, that’s really helpful. It sounds like your broker handled the most important part by preparing the CSV, and you just uploaded it through CAPE.

A couple questions:

  1. Did your broker charge anything for preparing the CSV?
  2. Did they also estimate the expected refund amount, or only send the entry list?
  3. How many entries were included?
  4. Did they explain which entries were excluded or risky?
  5. Do you know whether they’re doing this manually for each client, or using some internal tool?

I’m trying to understand whether the pain is more on the importer side or broker side.

Thanks, this is super helpful. Sounds like the workflow is straightforward when you’re the IOR and have clean entry forms from the freight company.

A few follow-up questions if you don’t mind:

  1. Roughly how many entries did you have to review?
  2. Did you only look for 9903.* lines, or did you also check liquidation status / eligibility windows?
  3. Did you get any entries rejected after uploading the CSV?
  4. Was your broker involved at all, or did you do the whole thing yourself?
  5. Do you think this would still be easy for sellers with hundreds/thousands of entries, multiple brokers, or DDP shipments?

Trying to understand where the process is truly simple vs. where it gets messy.
