CustomsGenius is the IEEPA tariff refund management platform for licensed customs brokers and importers of record. The platform ingests ES-003 Entry Summary Line Tariff Details reports from CBP's ACE Portal, identifies entries with dutiable IEEPA Chapter 99 HTS codes, and calculates refunds plus statutory interest under 19 U.S.C. § 1505(c). ES-001 cross-validation catches discrepancies before filing. CAPE pre-screening prevents rejection cascades, and exports comply with CBP's 9,999-entry limit. Start with a free trial →
A TEAM FROM WORLD CLASS INSTITUTIONS
I'm worried about the manpower needed to pull this off. Literally millions of PSCs
RIP my work email, so many refund requests. Also....today is my last day before vacation next week 😄
All entry auditing and no play makes jack a dull boy
Anyone have suggestions? My team is burning out on data entry. Two brokers gave notice this morning. I can hire temps but they take like 3 months to onboard.
another batch of IEEPA refund requests just dropped. cool. time to dig thru 40 emails for the right commercial invoices 🙃
Half my day is literally just copying numbers from PDFs into CBP forms. We have all the docs somewhere, why is this still manual?
tried one of those "AI customs tools." it hallucinated HTS codes and got tarrif rates wrong. had to redo everything manually lol
Open seasons for temps for post-entry work

IEEPA BULLETIN
CBP's CAPE system limits each Declaration CSV to 9,999 entry lines. CustomsGenius automatically batch-processes filings across multiple declarations when your portfolio exceeds this limit. The platform ingests ES-003 Entry Summary Line Tariff Details reports directly from ACE, identifies all IEEPA Chapter 99 entries, and prepares compliant CAPE Declaration files ready for upload — regardless of volume.
Yes. CustomsGenius computes statutory interest on a per-entry basis under 19 U.S.C. Section 1505(c), using each entry's liquidation date, duty amount, and the applicable interest rate. This gives brokers an accurate total recovery figure — principal plus interest — before filing any CAPE Declaration.
CustomsGenius cross-validates ES-001 Entry Summary data against ES-003 Entry Summary Line Tariff Details to catch discrepancies at the entry level before filing. The platform also pre-screens every entry against the full CAPE error code table, flagging issues that would cause CBP to reject the declaration. This prevents rejection cascades that force brokers to re-file entire batches.
No. All processing in CustomsGenius is deterministic and rule-based. The platform does not use probabilistic AI, large language models, or machine learning to classify entries, generate HTS codes, or determine refund eligibility. This design choice directly supports Reasonable Care compliance under 19 U.S.C. Section 1484, which requires importers and brokers to exercise informed judgment — not delegate classification decisions to opaque models.

Most of the data CustomsGenius needs comes directly from ACE Portal reports: ES-003 (Entry Summary Line Tariff Details) and ES-001 (Entry Summary). You don't need to upload stacks of documents to begin. Supporting documents like commercial invoices, bills of lading, and CBP Form 7501s are only needed to substantiate specific claims during the filing process.
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) was used to impose additional tariffs on U.S. imports beginning April 2025. The Supreme Court ruled in Learning Resources Inc. v. Trump that IEEPA does not authorize unilateral import tariffs, making these duties unlawful. More than 300,000 importers of record who paid IEEPA duties are legally entitled to full refunds.
The U.S. government collected an estimated $170 to $175 billion in IEEPA tariff duties by February 2026, affecting more than 300,000 importers. Delayed refunds accrue interest at approximately $700 million per month. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has rejected the government's attempts to pause refund payments.
CustomsGenius was founded by trade and tech experts who knew the refund process was going to be a mess. We combine insight and diligence to ensure importers maximize their IEEPA tariff refund.
