Tariff Refund Filing for Honolulu Entries

Entries processed through the Port of Honolulu (code 3201) that paid IEEPA or Section 301 tariffs are eligible for CAPE Phase 1 refund recovery. The CBP port code appears on your entry summary (CF-7501) and in your ACE ES-003 export — Tariffi uses this to identify and group your qualifying entries.

The CAPE filing process is the same regardless of port of entry:

  1. Export your ES-003 from ACE (includes entries through Honolulu and all other ports)
  2. Upload to Tariffi for automated eligibility analysis
  3. Tariffi prepares the CAPE declaration data for qualifying entries
  4. Your licensed customs broker partner reviews and files via ACE
