CAPE Refund Status, CIT Summoning, and Global 301 Expansion

  • →Reviewed the $30 billion CAPE refund pipeline and the unprecedented summoning of the CBP Commissioner to explain refund delays to the Court of International Trade
  • →Addressed common refund rejection causes such as mismatched data and the "4811 trap," where refund payments are inadvertently directed to brokers instead of importers

Tariff Tea

May 5, 2026

The $166 Billion CAPE Launch: Navigating the Largest Refund and "Customs Audit" in U.S. History

  • →Detailed the Section 232 overhaul for steel, aluminum, and copper, where tariffs shifted from a 50% rate on specific metal content to a 25% rate on the full product value

Tariff Tea

April 7, 2026

IEPA Refund Expansion, Section 232 Overhaul, and the "Audit" Reality of CAPE
