What is ES-701?
Detailed entry line item report from ACE, showing individual line-level data for each import entry. In the context of U.S. customs and tariff recovery, understanding es-701 is essential for navigating the CAPE refund process and ensuring accurate duty assessment.
Definition
The ES-701 is a detailed entry line item report available from CBP's ACE portal. While the ES-003 provides entry-level summary data, the ES-701 breaks down each entry into its individual line items — showing the specific products, HTS codes, quantities, values, and duty amounts for each line within an entry. This granularity is essential when entries contain multiple product categories with different tariff treatments.
How ES-701 Relates to Tariff Refunds
The ES-701 becomes critical for CAPE Phase 2, which will support line-level refund claims. For Phase 1 (entry-level declarations), the ES-003 is sufficient. Tariffi is building ES-701 parsing capability in anticipation of Phase 2, so importers with mixed entries can maximize their refund recovery when the expanded program launches.
Example
Entry #123-4567890-1 has 20 line items. The ES-003 shows it as a single entry with $50,000 total duty. The ES-701 reveals that 15 lines ($40,000 in duty) are Section 301-eligible and 5 lines ($10,000) are not. Phase 2 will allow claiming only the $40,000.
