If you are the Importer of Record (IOR) and need to identify tariffs paid under IEEPA (including Chapter 99 duties), you can pull this information directly from your ACE account.
Follow the steps below to locate and export the correct report:
Step 1: Navigate to Reports in ACE
- Log into your ACE account
- Click on “Reports” from the main dashboard
- Locate and select the “Folders” tile (typically on the Home tab)
Step 2: Access the Entry Summary Reports
Within Folders, navigate through the directory structure:
- Expand Public Folders
- Then follow one of these common paths:
- ACE → Trade → Entry Summary, or
- ACE → Trade → Importer → Revenue → Entry Summary
(Your exact view may vary slightly depending on your account permissions.)
Step 3: Select the Correct Report
Inside the Entry Summary folder, locate:
- ES-003 – Entry Summary Line Tariff Details
- This is the key report for identifying IEEPA / Chapter 99 duties paid at the line level
Optional (for tracking refund timing):
- ES-701 – Courtesy Notice of Liquidation
- Used to confirm liquidation status and dates
Step 4: Run the Report
- Double-click ES-003 – Entry Summary Line Tariff Details
- A Prompts window will appear
Complete the required fields:
- Entry Summary Date range (or Entry Date)
- Importer ID / ACE Account
- Optional filters:
- Port
- Filer Code
- HTS Number
Note: You can filter for relevant tariff lines (e.g., 9903.01.xx or 9903.02.xx) after export in Excel.
- Click Run Query (or OK)
- Allow 30–60 seconds (or longer for large date ranges)
Step 5: Export and Save Your Data
Once the report generates:
- Use the toolbar to Export
- Select:
- Excel (.xlsx), or
- CSV
Save this file—this will be your working dataset for:
- Identifying eligible entries
- Preparing your CAPE CSV upload
- Supporting refund claims
Key Takeaway
The ES-003 report is your primary tool for identifying IEEPA tariffs paid.
This data will form the foundation of your refund submission through CAPE.
Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Pulling IEEPA Tariff Data in ACE
- Pulling the Wrong Report
Not all Entry Summary reports show tariff details.
- Correct report: ES-003 – Entry Summary Line Tariff Details
- Other reports (like ES-001 or ES-002) will not show line-level Chapter 99 duties
- Using Too Narrow (or Wrong) Date Ranges
Many users accidentally:
- Pull only a few days of data, or
- Use the wrong field (Entry Date vs. Entry Summary Date)
Best practice:
- Start broad (e.g., last 12–18 months)
- Narrow down later in Excel
- Assuming You Were the Importer of Record
If you purchased goods DDP, you may not be the IOR.
- If you are not the IOR:
- Your ACE account may show no data
- Or only partial entries
Fix:
- Confirm IOR before spending time pulling reports
- Not Reviewing Chapter 99 Lines Carefully
IEEPA tariffs are typically reflected under:
- HTS 9903.01.xx
- HTS 9903.02.xx
Common mistake:
- Looking only at base HTS codes (e.g., 8501, 9403, etc.)
- Missing the separate Chapter 99 duty line
- Skipping Data Cleanup Before CAPE Upload
The raw ACE export is not ready for CAPE.
Common issues:
- Including dashes in entry numbers
- Extra columns or formatting
- Mixing multiple importer IDs
Reminder:
- CAPE CSV requires clean entry numbers only (no extra data)
