Event Overview

The AIJA T.R.A.D.E. Commission (Trade, Retail, Agency, Distribution and E-commerce) is pleased to invite you to its next online webinar on 12 May 2026 at 16:00 CEST.

Building on the success of our webinar on U.S. tariff policies in July 2025, this follow-up webinar will focus on the IEEPA CAPE refund process, initiated following the US Supreme Court's ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump. Anne Brandon will discuss how companies should approach recovery opportunities in a strategic and controlled manner.

With many entries currently excluded from Phase 1 due to timing or structural considerations, and with increasing pressure to act quickly, this session will provide practical guidance on how to evaluate refund opportunities without creating additional risk.

Key topics will include:

  • How to identify and manage 'strategically held' entries that cannot yet be filed in CAPE
  • Segmentation and sequencing of claims, including when CAPE is appropriate versus when a protest strategy may be more suitable.
  • The importance of internal alignment across Trade, Legal and Finance before filing
  • Technical considerations, including how IEEPA interacts with Section 301, Section 232 and other measures
  • Pre-filing checks, such as those relating to liquidation timing, reconciliation, protest implications and internal ownership of decisions
  • The common pitfalls of filing too quickly will be covered, including validation failures, delayed refunds and increased audit risk
  • The webinar will conclude with a short 15-minute T.R.A.D.E. Commission meeting to discuss upcoming projects and ways to get involved.

Register here to attend the webinar.  

We look forward to meeting you virtually on 12 May 2026!

Best regards,
