Atmus Filtration, Inc. v. United States
A federal court ruled that IEEPA tariffs collected starting early 2025 were unlawful. If your business was the Importer of Record on those entries, you can file to get those duties back.

Only the Importer of Record (IOR) that originally paid the duties may file via CAPE Phase 1. Payout: Approximately $165 billion in unlawfully collected IEEPA duties across more than 53 million entries filed by over 330,000 importers. No proof of purchase is required to file.

Who may qualify
You self-certify the basics when you file — the settlement administrator makes the final eligibility decision.
You may qualify if your company was the Importer of Record (IOR) that actually paid IEEPA tariffs on goods imported between February 4, 2025 and February 24, 2026, and those entries are either still unliquidated or were liquidated within 80 days of your CAPE submission. Only the original IOR can file — not customs brokers or third parties.

How hard is this claim to file?
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- ACH registration in ACE is a hard prerequisite — CBP will reject your refund even if your CAPE Declaration passes all validations if banking info is not on file first.
- CAPE Phase 1 only covers entries that are unliquidated or liquidated within 80 days of your submission date — entries outside that window require a separate Protest filing with a 180-day clock running from final liquidation.
- Only the Importer of Record that originally paid the IEEPA tariffs may file via CAPE Phase 1 — a broker or other party cannot claim on your behalf through this channel.
- Use only the official CBP ACE Portal at cbp.gov; the document does not list any filing deadline for CAPE submissions, so check the CBP page directly for any cutoff that may have been posted.
- Each CAPE Declaration is capped at 9,999 entries, but multiple declarations can be filed by the same importer, so plan your CSV batches accordingly.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
