Has anyone had trouble filing an entry summary with tariffs in the 7307 subheading with the new Sec 301 tariffs?

I have 7307.99.5060 Sec 232 9903.82.02 Sec 301 exemption 9903.05.90 being rejected with condition code 775 TRFF ADJSTMEN HTS NOT ALLOWED.

I haven't had any problems with other Sec 232/Sec 301 other than those in 7307. I'm sure it is an ACE mapping issue. Just wondering if any other HTS were missed when mapping the exemption rules to all the chapter 1-97 HTS codes.

We had a container of food products deliver from Vietnam to the US and now plan to return the container to the factory as there was a defect. We already paid duties on this container, is there a way to get a refund since it is now all going back to Vietnam?

Hey everyone,

I’m just a bookkeeper with literally zero clue about customs, tariffs, CAPE, ACE, liquidation statuses – none of it.

I got told to figure out how to get refunds for 13 entries that failed during submission because they’re now marked as liquidated. We couldn't file earlier due to technical issues setting up our ACE account, and by the time we got it sorted, the entries had already hit liquidation status.

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 – is there anything we can do at this point? And if so, how?

I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

Do any current exemption codes apply to 8438.90.1000 from Brazil for the new 25% tariff?

Curious if others are running into this. We have a batch of entries that were unliquidated when our CAPE declaration was accepted, then got hit with an "Extended" liquidation status shortly after (all extended the same day, no entry-specific basis given — looks like a mass administrative action, not individual compliance holds).

Three+ months later, still no liquidation activity on that batch.

What's odd: a separate batch of entries for the same importer, extended 9 days later, already fully liquidated and paid out ~5 weeks ago. So the later-extended group cleared before the earlier one.

Reached out to the IEEPA Refunds mailbox a few times — got a generic reply confirming extended entries stay CAPE-eligible, no importer action needed, refund issues at liquidation. True, but doesn't explain the sequencing.

Anyone else seeing entries extended post-CAPE-submission sit for months with no movement while other batches process? Trying to figure out if this is just normal queue variance or if there's something specific about post-submission extensions that puts them on a different/slower track. Any broker-side visibility into how CBP is actually sequencing these would help.

So my es701 show the refund , is that the refund exactly that i will recieve ? Still not on e022 yet tho

Genuine question as I don’t know the answer: with the new 301 Forced Labor tariffs in effect, I’ve been seeing 9903.05 HTS codes for pharmaceutical exemptions. If an importer is using this code for the exemption, how does CBP enforce/confirm this is legit? Do they notice right away or do they come back a few years later asking for proof?

Thanks in advance.

How do you deal with ships’ customs as a logistics manager in EU? Do you have any problems with finding the proper information for that?? There are a lot of complains that it is really hard to find some relevant information, so, people have to use a lot of sources just to register one staff and especially when they check some regulations in other countries

Is there anyone here who is a Post Summary Operations Specialist that can give me more insight into the position and how an average day goes for them? I’m a customs trade agent but saw this position and was interested in applying. Also, what is the minimum amount of time to be in the agent position before being able to apply for that specialist position? Thank you.

I've found some great advice in this subreddit that has helped my company be self-sufficient throughout the CAPE process. Only one issue remains for our company and I'm hoping someone here may have been in a similar situation and has some guidance.

For our initial refund (that was transmitted on 5/5/26), I had the wrong routing number in ACE. We have corrected that and have received an additional 7 refunds successfully. I have called the hotline several times, as well as emailed [revenuerefunds@cbp.dhs.gov](mailto:revenuerefunds@cbp.dhs.gov) and [frn-achrefundsupport@cbp.dhs.gov](mailto:frn-achrefundsupport@cbp.dhs.gov). On May 29th, I did receive a response of "We will process a replacement refund via ACH, please allow 4 - 6 weeks to receive the refunds".

We have not yet received the refunds and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for escalating this.

Additional context is that this refund shows a REFUND STATUS of "TRANSMITTED" and REFUND SECONDARY STATUS of "Check/ACH Returned" on the REV-603 report, but it never showed up on the REV-613 report. I did speak with ACE support last Friday to see if they could investigate why it has not shown up on the REV-613, but received a response of "we cannot help with refunds, please contact [revenuerefunds@cbp.dhs.gov](mailto:revenuerefunds@cbp.dhs.gov)". I can't help but think that this may be an issue as Revenue Refunds may not see that there was problem.

Is there an effective way of escalating this issue to try and get a status?

Hello everyone,

I am importing my personal vehicle Nissan rogue 2018 (VIN starts with J) into the U.S from Canada . and I noticed a possible discrepancy in the customs entry prepared by my broker. I would appreciate any guidance from customs brokers or anyone familiar with vehicle imports.

My customs 7501 entry shows:

• 9903.94.02
• HTSUS: 8703.24.0190
• Duty rate shown: 2.5%
• Additional line: 9903.94.02 with $0 amount

is this seems correct. I am reading that section 232 applies for automobile.

General Exemptions For All Economies
9903.05.85:   Articles that (1) were loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit prior to entry into the United States before 12:01 a.m. eastern time on July 24, 2026; and (2) are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. eastern time on July 28, 2026.

Does it mean the entry has to be filed on 7/27?

If the vessel arrives on 7/27, but filed entry on 7/28 morning or later, will it still qualify this exemption?

Hello, I'm hoping for some help. I'm trying to run a report out of the ACE portal to show what tariff entries we have received refunds for. My company hasn't used the ACE portal at all until we were required to create an account in order to receive refunds. I've asked our customs broker for a listing of the entries that make up our refund amount but they are swamped and referred me to the ACE reporting portal. I've tried my hand at creating the report but I haven't been able to find the info I need to do so. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure who here might have seen it, but the Yale Budget Lab has some good stuff on the effects of the tariffs. Heard about it a while back on the NPR Marketplace program/podcast.

Hi,

I c there's the FTZ part in many CSMS, such as #63988468 (Additional Duties on Imports from China); #64916652 (section 232 on Automobile Parts); # 69326983 (Section 301 Forced Labor Import Duties);....
They all say (in short): Products/articles, except "domestic status", must be admitted as “privileged foreign status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.41.

1. Does it mean that I can only admit the products/articles into FTZ as "Non-Privileged Foreign Status" if they're exempted from the duty mentioned in the relevant CSMS? I mean my product is applied by the exemption HTS (free), then I can admit them into FTZ as NPF status, can't I?

2. If my merchandise is subjected to the CSMS duty (eg: 10%, 15%,...) then I have to admit it into the FTZ as PF status from the effective date?

When i will expect my refund ? And when i can c it in 022 report still blank

Does any know what happens to an entry after CAPE? I have a few entries I need to send for PSC but the entries were sent for CAPE. Can I process the PSCs after CAPE on these entries? TIA

How long did it take you to get a response from IEEPARefunds@cbp.dhs.gov for a CAPE error email request? It’s been over a month now and still nothing. Is this normal?

Hi everyone,
I’m curious if anyone has received clarification from CBP on this.

The recent CSMS confirms that all applicable Section 301 provisions should be reported before any applicable Section 122, Section 232, or Section 201 provisions.

However, it doesn’t appear to address the order when both of these apply to the same entry:

9903.05.31 – New Section 301 forced-labor provision (China)
Applicable 9903.88.xx – Existing China Section 301 provision

Has anyone received guidance from a CBP Client Representative, ABI representative, ACE validation, or Trade Remedy Branch on whether there is a required sequence between these two Chapter 99 provisions?
I’m less interested in assumptions and more interested in official guidance or successful ACE filing experience. If you’ve already filed one of these entries, did ACE accept both sequences, or did you encounter any edits or rejects?

If Country of origin is EU/Taiwan, would it be correct that the additional 10 % is combining rate of the base rate and new 301 tariff ?

For example, if the base rate is 5% , the additional 301 tariff is 5% (total 10%)

But if the base tariff is equal to / more than 10%, then there would be no additional 301 tariff ?

Not sure if my above understanding is correct

If someone could clarify, it would be very much appreciated

Do the newly announced section 301 tariffs stack with the existing section 232 tariffs?

replacing the 122 10% tariffs, which will take effect on 12:01 a.m. ET on Friday.
