As of Feb. 6 the Treasury Department has stopped issuing paper checks for all U.S. Customs and Border Protection refunds. To avoid delays or disruptions in receiving import duty refunds, antidumping and countervailing duty refunds, and other CBP‑issued payments, importers should ensure they have created an account in the Automated Commercial Environment and linked a current bank account.
ST&R has produced this video (which is free to view, though registration is required) providing a practical, step‑by‑step walkthrough of how to prepare for this transition and ensure your company is fully enrolled for electronic refunds through the ACE Secure Data Portal.
