Ryan Last will present “From Duties to Refunds: Mastering IEEPA Duty Refunds & CAPE,” as part of a Virginia Economic Development International Trade webinar. The program will take place on Wednesday, June 17 from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. CT.
The session will begin with an overview of the current tariff and trade environment, including key programs such as IEEPA, Section 301, Section 232, Section 201, Section 122, and AD/CVD measures. We will review how these tariffs were implemented, recent legal developments, and what they mean for businesses across the supply chain. The session will also cover ongoing litigation and recent rulings related to IEEPA tariffs, including refund considerations and potential implications for importers. A key focus will be CBP’s refund process. Attendees will learn how to access and use the CAPE system, complete required steps, and track refund claims from submission through payment, along with timelines, documentation, and setup considerations such as ACE Portal access and payment configuration.
