CAPE Filing Helper

Fix your CAPE entry-number CSV in 30 seconds.

Paste entry numbers from anywhere — your broker's email, a messy spreadsheet, a PDF copy-paste. We normalize, deduplicate, flag bad rows, and export a CSV CBP's CAPE portal will actually accept.

Why this exists

CBP's CAPE portal went live on April 20, 2026 to refund tariffs the Supreme Court struck down under IEEPA — up to ~$166B owed to importers. Large firms have trade counsel on speed-dial. Everyone else is learning the format by trial and error, watching Duplicate tax ID errors, and getting timed out.

This tool handles the CSV plumbing so you can focus on getting your entry numbers together and filing. It will not tell you whether a specific entry is IEEPA-eligible — for that, talk to a licensed customs broker or trade attorney.
