The CAPE Refund Toolkit — v2.1
The CAPE Refund Toolkit
Most importers never realize they've overpaid customs duties.
This toolkit helps you find out if you're owed money — before your refund deadlines expire forever.
Is this for you?
Check the boxes that apply to you:
☐ You import goods into the U.S. — steel, aluminum, construction materials, specialty goods, or agricultural products
☐ You paid duty on shipments that came in after April 20, 2026
☐ Your customs broker was FedEx, UPS, or a third-party broker
☐ You've never filed a PSC or 520(d) refund claim
☐ You suspect you're leaving money on the table but don't know how to check
If you checked 2 or more boxes, this toolkit was built for you.
What this actually solves
You didn't do anything wrong. Your broker probably didn't either. But when the CAPE Phase 2 rules launched in April 2026, most brokers didn't update their process fast enough — and importers got stuck paying tariffs they didn't have to.
The problem: most importers don't know they overpaid. And even the ones who suspect it don't know how to prove it or how to get the money back.
The refund windows are short. Most are 90 days from entry. Some are 180. Miss the window, the money is gone — permanently.
That's what this toolkit fixes.
What's inside the toolkit
The 24-page CAPE Refund Playbook covering:
- How to know within 5 minutes if you overpaid
- The exact Box 26 audit steps most brokers skip
- When to file a PSC vs. a 520(d) — the decision that saves or kills your refund
- The FedEx and UPS refund request process (they don't refund automatically — you have to ask)
- Broker request templates so you don't have to write them from scratch
- The refund calculation formula
- The paper trail to keep in case CBP asks questions
Plus:
- A ready-to-send template email to your customs broker
- The Box 26 audit checklist
- A refund deadline tracker
This is the same system I use with my paid clients. You're getting it for $97 — one refund covers this many times over.
Who I am
I'm Kelly Brown. I built ERTC Audit Protection, LLC helping small businesses win their audits against the IRS. I did so well at ERTC audits that I got asked to look into tariff refunds — and here I am today.
I've since helped a manufacturer and a construction company recover the money they overpaid to CBP. Now I'm putting the entire process into this toolkit so you can do it too — or hand it to your broker and get results faster.
I'm not a former customs broker. I'm not a trade lawyer. I'm the person who dug into the CAPE Phase 2 rules the same way I dug into ERTC rules — until I understood them well enough to help real businesses recover real money. This toolkit is what I learned, in plain English, for people who don't speak customs.
Why act now
Every import shipment has a refund deadline. Most are 90 days from entry. Some are 180.
If your shipment came in during April or May 2026, your window is closing right now.
Once the deadline passes, the refund is gone. Permanently. No appeals. No extensions.
