Following the landmark SCOTUS decision, billions in global tariff revenue is now on the table for recovery, but the process for making refund claims is new and untested. With U.S. CBP’s new CAPE portal soon going live, medtech companies finally have a pathway to recover unlawfully collected IEEPA duties. However, Phase 1 is restricted to specific entry types, and missing a technical requirement could stall your recovery for months.
This timely session focuses on the operational readiness required to leverage the CAPE tool, which will be the exclusive administrative mechanism for IEEPA refunds starting April 20. Stay ahead of the shifting policy landscape with the leading authorities on international trade law from Akin Gump.
Who Should Attend:
- Regulatory affairs and legal counsel
- Trade compliance and logistics professionals
- Government affairs and policy teams
- Product and global market strategists
- MedTech exporters seeking tariff mitigation strategies
This is a members-only event. Space is limited.
