How the Estimate Works

Between April 5, 2025 and February 20, 2026, the US charged IEEPA reciprocal tariffs on imports from more than 80 countries. The rate varied by country — from a 10% baseline up to 46% for Vietnam. On February 20, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in V.O.S. Selections Inc. v. United States that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs. The Court of International Trade then ordered CBP to refund the duties.

The estimator multiplies your total IEEPA-period import value by your country's pre-SCOTUS IEEPA rate, then adds approximate 5% simple interest. CBP's actual refund calculation is done per-entry with exact statutory interest from each entry date, so treat this as a ballpark.

What this tool does NOT include: Section 232 tariffs (steel, aluminum, autos, copper, semiconductors, lumber), Section 301 China tariffs, the current 10% Section 122 tariff, USMCA-qualifying entries that paid 0% IEEPA, and the de minimis exemption. None of those are refundable through CAPE.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this refund estimator?
It's a rough estimate. Actual CBP refunds are calculated per-entry using the exact duty paid and statutory interest from the entry date. This tool multiplies your total import value by the old IEEPA rate for your selected country and adds approximate 5% interest. Your real refund could be higher or lower depending on entry mix and timing.
What's the old IEEPA rate for my country?
Rates ranged from 10% (baseline for most countries) up to 46% for Vietnam, 37% for Bangladesh, 36% for Thailand, 32% for Taiwan, 25% for South Korea, and 20% for the EU. This tool uses the country-specific IEEPA rate in effect before the SCOTUS ruling on February 20, 2026.
Does this include Section 232 and Section 301 refunds?
No — and those aren't refundable. Section 232 tariffs (steel 50%, aluminum 50%, autos 25%, copper 50%, semiconductors 25%, lumber 10%) and Section 301 tariffs on China (25-100%) were imposed under separate authorities and remain in force. Only IEEPA reciprocal tariffs are refundable through CAPE.
How do I actually file for a refund?
File a CAPE Declaration through the ACE Secure Data Portal. You need an ACE account, ACH enrollment for electronic refunds, and a CSV listing your entry numbers. See our step-by-step IEEPA refund guide for the full process.
When will Phase 2 open for older entries?
CBP has not announced a Phase 2 date. Phase 1 only covers unliquidated entries and entries within 80 days of liquidation. Older liquidated entries will likely wait for Phase 2 or be pursued through the Court of International Trade. Enter your email in the tool to be notified when Phase 2 opens.
