We're not just attending the 6th Annual WCA eCommerce Solutions Conference in Barcelona. We're sponsoring it.

June 6–8, the global eCommerce and logistics community comes together to talk about what's keeping the industry moving forward — and what's still slowing it down. And CustomsCity will be right in the middle of it.

We built our platform for the freight forwarders, customs brokers, and importers who handle this complexity every single day. Being here — supporting this conversation — is a natural extension of that commitment.

See you in Barcelona. Come say hi. 👋

The Section 122 story didn't end when the CIT ruled on May 7.

It moved to the Federal Circuit, and that's where every broker and importer needs to be paying attention.

Here's the current legal posture:

📅 May 7: CIT ruled Section 122 tariffs unlawful (2-1 decision)
📅 May 8: U.S. government appealed to the Federal Circuit
📅 May 11: CIT granted administrative stay — tariffs continue for all non-plaintiff importers
📅 Now: Federal Circuit is considering the full stay motion

What this means while the appeal proceeds:

→ Section 122 tariffs (10% global surcharge) are still being collected from all importers except three named plaintiffs
→ The Federal Circuit could: grant a full stay (collections continue through appeal), deny the stay (triggering refund pressure), or narrow the stay
→ Section 122 expires July 24, 2026 by statute, unless Congress extends it, which requires bipartisan support that isn't guaranteed

The administration's strategy regardless of the Federal Circuit outcome:
USTR is working to finalize Section 301 findings before July 24 so new tariffs are ready the moment Section 122 expires.
If Section 301 tariffs land before July 24, the transition could be seamless from a revenue standpoint.

What importers should be doing right now:
✔ Track every entry subject to Section 122 duties separately
✔ Evaluate whether to file administrative protests (180 days from liquidation) to preserve refund rights
✔ Review contracts, tariff pass-through and refund allocation disputes are already surfacing
✔ Model what Section 301 replacement tariffs would mean for your cost structure

The legal outcome is uncertain. The July 24, 2026 date is not.

The first IEEPA refunds hit on May 12, 2026.
That's the signal the trade community was waiting for: CBP's CAPE system isn't just accepting filings — it's issuing payments.

By April 26, 2026 (per CBP's April 28 CIT filing):
→ 75,000+ CAPE Declarations submitted
→ 63% passed file validation
→ 84% of validated entries passed entry validation (~1 in 6 entries rejected)
→ 1.74 million entries already liquidated without IEEPA tariffs and entered the refund process

What's slowing things down:
→ ~16% initial rejection rate during entry validation (entry number format errors, Filer Code mismatches, IOR discrepancies)
→ ACH enrollment problems — refunds fail silently without correct bank info in ACE
→ CAPE Declarations cannot be amended once submitted — errors require a new, separate Declaration

The biggest risk right now:
Importers are treating CAPE as an open-ended process.
It isn't.
Phase 1 only covers unliquidated entries and entries within 80 days of liquidation.
As 2025 entries continue to liquidate on rolling dates throughout 2026, each one starts a new 80-day CAPE window — and a separate 180-day protest deadline.
If you miss both windows, the path to recovery narrows to CIT litigation.
Phase 2 (for fully liquidated entries) has no announced launch date.

Is your team tracking protest deadlines by entry?
At CustomsCity, your entry data is organized from day one — so you know exactly where each entry stands.

Barcelona is calling — and we're answering. 🇪🇸
In just a few days, the CustomsCity team will be at the 6th Annual WCA eCommerce Solutions Conference, and honestly? We can't wait.

This is the room where eCommerce leaders, freight forwarders, and logistics innovators come together to talk about what's actually shaping global trade — cross-border logistics, last-mile delivery, sustainability, and the technology making it all smarter and faster.

We're showing up ready to connect, listen, and share what we've been building to make trade compliance easier for the people doing this work every day.

If you'll be in Barcelona June 6–8, come find us. Because the most valuable conversations at any conference happen off-script. 👇

Barcelona, here we come. 🌍

The CustomsCity team is heading to the 6th Annual WCA eCommerce Solutions Conference — June 6–8 in Barcelona, Spain.

Three days of one-on-one meetings, panel discussions, and conversations about what's shaping cross-border trade: eCommerce logistics, sustainability, and the technology driving it all forward.

If you'll be there, let's connect. Drop us a message — we'd love to meet.

Here's what's coming in the next 60 days:

📅 July 1 — USMCA joint review begins

The first six-year review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement officially kicks off, but there's no fixed end date, and negotiations are already expected to run past it.
What's at stake: rules of origin, regional content requirements, and the long-term validity of USMCA certificates across North American supply chains.

📅 July 24 — Section 122 tariffs expire

The 10% global surcharge hits its statutory 150-day limit. The President cannot extend it unilaterally, and Congress has not acted.
USTR is targeting this date to finalize Section 301 determinations for 60+ economies, with no rate cap and no time limit. New tariffs could land higher than what importers are paying today.

📅 July 31 — Section 232 pharma takes effect for large manufacturers

100% duties on patented pharmaceuticals and APIs — but only for the large manufacturers listed in Annex III.
All other importers: September 29, 2026. Either way, classification and origin review can't wait.

And in the background: Section 122 is under appeal at the Federal Circuit. CAPE claims are being processed. IEEPA refunds are rolling.

Summer 2026 is busy.

The companies modeling these scenarios today adapt in July.
The ones that wait react under pressure.

CBP's CAPE portal has been live since April 20 — and the clock is already running.

If you're an importer or customs broker with entries subject to IEEPA tariffs, here's what you need to know right now:

✅ Refunds are not automatic. You have to file.
✅ CAPE is the only valid mechanism — PSCs no longer work for IEEPA refunds.
✅ Phase 1 covers unliquidated entries and entries within 80 days of liquidation.
✅ No valid ACH enrollment = no refund. CBP will not issue checks.
✅ Only the IOR or the broker who originally filed the entries can submit.

We put together a step-by-step guide covering everything from ACE Portal access to submission, tracking, and the IOR/broker authorization rules.

And if your entry data isn't organized today, this is your reminder that the next refund window won't wait.

HTS classification has never carried more financial weight.

In the past 60 days alone:

→ Section 232 metals moved from metal-content-only to full customs value calculation (April 6)
→ Section 232 pharma signed — 100% tariff liability on patented products and APIs takes effect July 31–September 29, 2026, depending on company size
→ Section 301 investigations are active — new country-specific tariffs incoming with no rate cap (targeting July 24 completion)

A classification decision that was correct six months ago may carry significant duty implications today, and a wrong one can, can delay or forfeit your IEEPA refund, create Section 232 exposure, or put you in scope for incoming Section 301 tariffs.

This is why we built CustomsAI HTS Classification.

Not to replace your team's expertise. To extend it.
What it does:
✔ Classifies products based on structured descriptions — not guesswork
✔ Returns confidence scores so your team knows exactly when to manually review
✔ Reflects current HTS schedule
✔ Integrates directly into your CustomsCity workflow from classification to duty calculation

The result:
Consistent decisions across your full team — at any volume.

In an enforcement environment where CBP uses AI to detect classification inconsistencies across thousands of entries, consistency itself is a compliance defense.

Today, we pause.

Memorial Day is a reminder of the sacrifice behind the freedoms we often take for granted, including the freedom to build, to trade, and to connect across borders.

At CustomsCity, our work lives at the intersection of trade and compliance. But none of that is possible without the foundation others laid before us.

To the men and women who served and gave everything: we remember. We're grateful.

Wishing a meaningful Memorial Day to all who observe.
