DHL Express is committed to helping customers recover IEEPA tariffs they paid to the U.S. government through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling and CBP confirmation that IEEPA tariffs no longer apply to shipments entering the United States as of February 24, 2026, CBP has since announced that it will begin processing refund claims through a phased administrative approach, with Phase 1 of its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) system scheduled to begin on April 20, 2026.

Under the government-established process, eligible refunds are administered by CBP through the CAPE system. As refunds are issued by CBP, where DHL Express acted as the Importer of Record (IOR), DHL Express will pass on the refund to the party that originally paid the duties, in line with CBP guidance. For eligible entries where the customer has acted as the IOR, DHL Express can assist customers in filing their claims via CAPE.
