Your IEEPA Refund Is at Risk Without ACE Enrollment.

CBP's batch refund mechanism requires every importer to be enrolled in ACE with ACH payment set up. If you're not enrolled, you won't receive your IEEPA tariff refund—regardless of how many entries you have outstanding.

Simple Forwarding is a freight forwarding and customs brokerage firm that helps small to medium sized businesses with international shipping and customs compliance.

If You're Not Enrolled, You May Miss the Refund Entirely

The IEEPA refund process is automated and unforgiving. Common failure points for importers include:

  • CBP no longer refunds any type of refund via physical checks, if you are not enrolled in ACH refunds you will not get your tariffs back.

  • The only way to enroll in ACH electronic refunds is via ACE, if you do not have a ACE account you cannot enroll in ACH refunds.

  • CBP is building the refund mechanism within ACE, if you aren't enrolled you will not be able to file for your refunds.

  • CBP expects the importers to compile the list of the entries that paid IEEPA for the refund processing. CBP will not do it for you, those reports are available through ACE.

ACE enrollment is not optional. Without it, CBP has nowhere to send your IEEPA refund.
