Court of International Trade Judge Richard Eaton stayed the lead case on International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariff refunds on April 20, ordering the government to file a report on the progress made during "Phase One" of refund payments made under the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) tool. The report is due by 12 p.m. ET on April 28, and a closed settlement conference will be held on the same day. Eaton has been overseeing all IEEPA refund matters, opting to address the issue through one individual case in which the government has been periodically issuing status reports detailing its progress in standing up the CAPE mechanism (see 2604070011) (Euro-Notions Florida v. United States, CIT # 25-00595).

The International Trade Surety Association penned an amicus brief to the Court of International Trade on April 17, urging Judge Richard Eaton to include International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariff refund payments to sureties as part of its "Phase One" payments under the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) tool. The sureties trade group said CBP's decision to limit CAPE to importers and brokers "will inevitably lead to IEEPA tariff refunds being issued to importers, instead of to the sureties who actually paid the IEEPA tariffs directly to Customs," in violation of CBP's own regulations (Euro-Notions Florida v. United States, CIT # 25-00595).
