Electronic Refunds Interim Final Rule Effective 2/6/2026
Effective February 6, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will issue all refunds, including duty drawback, electronically via Automated Clearing House (ACH) (subject to limited exceptions), as announced in the Electronic Refunds Interim Final Rule published January 2, 2026 in the Federal Register (FR Document 2025-24171).
This rule will require trade members to set up ACE Portal accounts and to submit ACH banking information in the ACE Portal so that CBP can issue ACH refunds instead of mailing refunds as U.S. Treasury checks.
