financeApr 20, 202630530

The Trump administration on Monday launched U.S. Customs and Border Protection's CAPE portal to let importers and businesses file claims for roughly $166 billion in tariff refunds. The portal lets companies and individual importers seek reimbursement for tariffs they paid, including disputed charges such as one importer WHO paid $248 in tariffs on a coat. U.S. Customs will review and adjudicate claims submitted through CAPE to determine eligibility and the amount each claimant will receive, with payouts issued after the agency completes processing.
