After SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs on Feb 20, 2026, $166B is refundable across 330,000 US importers. Upload your ACE ITRAC export — we audit every line for IEEPA refund eligibility, classification errors, missed FTA preferences, and Section 232/301 forward exposure. Lawyers charge 20-30% of recovery. We charge a flat fee.
CBP's CAPE refund portal went live April 20, 2026. Phase 1 covers ~63% of eligible entries — but the 90-day claim window is already ticking on Q1-2026 liquidations. Less than 10% of importers were ACH-enrolled at launch. The rest are leaving money on the table.
IEEPA duty pool struck down by SCOTUS, 6-3 ruling, Feb 20, 2026.
Every IOR that paid IEEPA duty since early 2025 is eligible. Most don't know how much they're owed.
Boutique customs counsel rates. Big-4 charges £15-50k for a fixed-fee diagnostic. Mid-market gets ignored.
Per-entry claim window is closing on Q1-2026 liquidations. Phase 2 timeline is still vague.
No integrations. No calls with sales. No 6-month consulting engagement. Upload your ACE ITRAC, get filing-ready packets, file (or hand to your broker).
Pull the last 18 months of entries from the CBP ACE Portal — entry summary, line, HTS, country of origin, value, and duties paid. CSV is fine.
Every line is re-classified by our 51-country AI engine and checked against the IEEPA executive-order schedule, FTA origin rules, CPC eligibility, valuation rules, and Section 232/301 exposure.
CAPE-ready CSV for IEEPA refunds, PSC payload for ABI, CF-19 packet for protests, evidence-pack manifest. You file, or hand to your broker.
CAPE refunds are the headline, but the same dataset hides four more recovery paths. Our engine checks them all in one pass.
Match every line against the 35 IEEPA executive-order rate modifications. Flag Phase 1 vs Phase 2 buckets, ACH enrollment status, and unliquidated-vs-liquidated splits.
Re-classify every HTS line against our 51-country AI engine + Federal Register provenance. Surface misclassifications that mean Section 301, MPF, or HMF was over-collected.
Cross-check origin against USMCA, KORUS, CAFTA-DR, GSP, and every other US FTA. Origin qualifies but no claim filed = full duty refund opportunity.
Should the entry have been Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ), Temporary Importation Bond (TIB), or under a Chapter 98 provision (returned goods, US-origin)? We flag every eligible reclass.
Royalties, assists, freight, or post-entry adjustments wrongly included in dutiable value? First-sale opportunities missed? Each correction is a refund.
These tariffs are not refundable, and the administration is stacking them as IEEPA replacement revenue. We surface ongoing exposure and origin-engineering opportunities.
Real numbers from one of our test scans on a synthetic 46-line ACE ITRAC export. $125.5k in recoverable duty surfaced from $36.4k paid — a 3.4× return — and IEEPA refunds are only one of the dimensions. Most importers expect a single refund stream; we re-classify every line and check origin against every US FTA, so the recovery surface is broader.
Each entry can produce findings across multiple dimensions. IEEPA refunds are deterministic; FTA preferences are candidates pending rules-of-origin verification. Four more dimensions (classification, wrong CPC, valuation, country-of-origin) are shipping in V1.5 — coverage expanding.
Most importers we talk to are quoted 20-30% contingency by a customs lawyer, a free-but-shallow filing service by their broker, or a US-only tool that doesn't audit classification. We're the only option that bundles all four.

CAPE (CBP ACE Portal Entry refund system) is the IEEPA refund portal CBP launched on April 20, 2026 in response to the SCOTUS ruling striking down IEEPA tariffs. It runs inside the existing ACE Secure Portal — you (or your broker) upload a CSV of the entries you're claiming refund on, CBP validates against its own data, re-liquidates, and pays you direct via ACH plus 6-7% statutory interest under 19 USC 1505(c).
Phase 1 (live now) covers unliquidated entries plus entries liquidated within 80 days. Phase 2 (timing TBD, CIT-pressured) covers finally-liquidated entries. We help you scope which entries qualify, generate the CSV, and verify the underlying classification was right.
Probably yes for filing — but not for using us. We provide the audit and the filing-ready packet. You can upload the CAPE CSV yourself via the ACE Portal (no broker license needed for self-filing your own entries). PSC and Reconciliation transmissions via ABI need either your own self-filer code or your broker's filer code. We integrate with both.
Three differences. First, we re-classify every HTS line against a 51-country engine — Wove's calculator only checks "did IEEPA apply to this entry," it doesn't audit whether your HTS code was right in the first place. Second, our audit covers six dimensions (IEEPA, classification, FTA, CPC, valuation, 232/301 forward) — not just the refund moment. Third, we publish flat-fee pricing and don't gate the calculator behind a sales demo.
The IEEPA refund is a one-shot moment, but the same audit dimensions keep producing recoveries on every new entry — wrong HTS codes, missed FTA preferences, wrong CPCs, valuation errors. The recurring tier re-audits quarterly and maintains a rolling 3-year protest watchlist for entries that approach their 180-day liquidation window. Section 232/301 exposure also keeps growing — the administration is stacking them as IEEPA replacement revenue.
Your declaration data is stored in your isolated tenant on Supabase (Postgres with Row-Level Security), encrypted at rest, never shared with other tenants. Federal Register references and CBP CSMS bulletins are the only data we cross-reference. We don't sell, share, or train on your data. ACE ITRAC exports contain entry numbers, HTS codes, values, and duty paid — no sensitive PII. We delete on request.
UK launches Q3 2026 — same engine, HMRC C285 over-payment claims, missed FTA preference recovery (HMRC says £1.5bn/yr is missed), wrong CPC corrections, and direct integration with HMRC CDS amendment API. EU REM/REP launches Q4 2026, starting with Germany, France, and Netherlands. The classification engine is already 51-country.
No. We're a software product built by customs-compliance.ai — a UK-based AI customs platform. We do not file on your behalf, do not provide legal advice, and do not hold a CBP customs broker license. Our audit findings are a starting point for your own review and filing — through your existing broker, your in-house compliance team, or your customs counsel for contested matters.
Pricing is gated for the first 90 days while we calibrate against real recovery data — typical first-cohort customers will pay a flat audit fee that's a small single-digit percentage of what a 20-30% contingency lawyer would charge for the same recovery. We commit in writing before you upload. No surprise success fees, no per-entry uplifts.
