  • A recent court filing by US Customs and Border Protection said the US government has processed refunds worth about $100 billion for tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' trade measures after they were struck down by the US Supreme Court.
  • The amount is more than half of the nearly $166 billion collected through tariffs affected by the court's ruling.
A recent court filing by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said the US government has processed refunds worth about $100 billion for tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ trade measures after they were struck down by the US Supreme Court.

The amount is more than half of the nearly $166 billion collected through tariffs affected by the court’s ruling.

The refunds are related to additional ad valorem duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which the apex court invalidated in February 2026.

A new feature, called the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE), became available to importers and customs brokers on April 20 this year within the CBP’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) platform to calculate and process eligible refunds.

“As of 3 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, July 31, 2026, approximately $128.68 billion in both potential and certified refunds have been accepted for processing in CAPE,” a declaration filed by Brandon Lord, executive director of the Trade Programs Directorate at CBP’s Office of Trade, said in a declaration filed before the US Court of International Trade.

“Of this total amount, refunds (duties plus interest) of approximately $100 billion have been completed using the CAPE Refund component, certified by the agency, and sent to the US Department of the Treasury for disbursement,” the filing said.

CBP said as of July 31, 2026, 252,496 CAPE declarations had been submitted, of which 178,213 had passed file validation.
