CBP will stop issuing refunds in paper form.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will start issuing refunds electronically from February 6, aiming to reduce costs and delays while enhancing security against fraud. This transition includes upgrading the Automated Commercial Environment portal to streamline transactions. The changes come as the Supreme Court considers the legality of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, with potential for a surge in refund requests if the court rules against these tariffs. Experts warn that the volume of requests could be unprecedented, prompting CBP to prepare for increased demand.
