进口商通过新的CAPE系统提交索赔后，可在60至90天内收到退款

在最高法院今年早些时候裁定关税非法后，特朗普政府于周一启动了一项新系统，开始向美国进口商退还1660亿美元关税。
这个名为CAPE的系统将允许美国海关和边境保护局向进口商发放合并电子支付，简化原本复杂的逐批次退款流程。
“这本质上是退款处理的快速通道，”里德·史密斯律师事务所合伙人迈克尔·洛厄尔说道，他补充说进口商需要提交索赔申请，但整个流程应该会很简单明了。

“海关估计，退款将在提交申请后的60至90天内处理完毕，”他补充道。“如果进口商在系统开放后立即提交申请，退款可能会在6月中旬至7月中旬开始发放。”
此次上线是退款工作的第一阶段，这意味着并非所有进口商或关税类别都能立即获得退款资格。
此次退款源于2月最高法院的一项裁决，该裁决判定关税无效，为美国历史上规模最大的偿债行动之一铺平了道路。
预计许多企业将竞相提交索赔申请，以追回他们根据现已无效的关税政策支付的数十亿美元款项。
“解放日”关税实施后，关税收入创下历史新高，突显了当前返还给进口商的款项规模。

关税本质上是对进口商品征收的税，美国企业通常承担预付成本，并通过提高批发商、零售商乃至最终消费者的商品价格将成本转嫁出去。因此，家庭和企业可能会面临从电子产品到原材料等各类商品成本上涨的问题。
尽管如此，贸易专家表示，关税的广泛使用远未结束。
“关税不会消失，这一点很明确。它是本届政府经济和贸易政策的核心组成部分，”里德·史密斯律师事务所合伙人迈克尔·洛厄尔说道。
洛厄尔指出，在最高法院作出裁决后，政府根据另一项名为第122条的法律权限迅速实施了新关税，并指出这些措施已经面临法律挑战。
“政府拥有可动用的工具，目前正积极利用这些工具对来自特定国家的某些进口商品征收关税，”洛厄尔说。“至少在特朗普政府剩余任期内，关税将继续存在。”

他补充说，特朗普第一任期内实施的关税在拜登政府期间基本保留，突显了关税在历届政府中的持久影响力。
洛厄尔还表示，企业现在应该采取措施，为持续的不确定性做好准备。
“我们建议企业在合同中提前处理相关问题，就谁负责关税、如果我们继续看到关税被判定无效以及相关退款时如何处理退款，制定非常明确的条款，”他说道。

After Supreme Court blow, Trump admin launches $166B tariff refund portal
April 20, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
Importers could see refunds within 60 to 90 days after filing claims through the new CAPE system

The Trump administration on Monday launched a new system to begin refunding $166 billion in tariffs to U.S. importers after the Supreme Court ruled the levies unlawful earlier this year.
The system, known as CAPE, will allow U.S. Customs and Border Protection to issue consolidated electronic payments to importers, streamlining what would otherwise be a complex, entry-by-entry refund process.
“It’s essentially a fast track for processing refunds,” said Reed Smith partner Michael Lowell, adding that importers will need to file claims, but the process should be straightforward.

“Customs is estimating that refunds will be processed within 60 to 90 days after submission,” he added. “If importers file as soon as the system opens, refunds could begin flowing by mid-June to mid-July.”
The rollout marks the first phase of the refund effort, meaning not all importers or tariff categories will be eligible right away.
The refunds stem from a February Supreme Court decision that struck down the tariffs, setting the stage for what could become one of the largest repayment efforts in U.S. history.
Many businesses are expected to rush to file claims to get back billions they paid under the now-invalid tariffs.
Tariff revenues hit record highs after “Liberation Day” duties, underscoring the scale of payments now being returned to importers.

Tariffs function as a tax on imports, with U.S. companies often absorbing the upfront costs and passing them along through higher prices for wholesalers, retailers and ultimately consumers. As a result, households and businesses can face increased costs on goods ranging from electronics to raw materials.
Still, trade experts say the broader use of tariffs is far from over.
“Tariffs are not going anywhere. That’s clear. It’s a central component of the administration’s economic and trade policy,” said Reed Smith partner Michael Lowell.
Lowell pointed to the administration’s swift move to impose new tariffs under a separate legal authority known as Section 122 following the Supreme Court’s ruling, noting those measures are already facing legal challenges.
“The administration has tools available to it that it is actively using to impose tariffs on certain imports from certain countries,” Lowell said. “Tariffs are here to stay, at least for the balance of the Trump administration.”

He added that tariffs imposed during Trump’s first term largely remained in place through the Biden administration, underscoring their staying power across administrations.
Lowell also said companies should take steps now to prepare for continued uncertainty.
“We are advising companies to deal with the issues up front in their contracts, have very explicit terms around who’s responsible for the tariff, how refunds will be processed if we continue to see tariffs that are invalidated and refunds associated with them,” he said.
