Atlanta’s Role in U.S. Import Trade
The Supreme Court’s February 20, 2026 ruling in Learning Resources v. Trump held that IEEPA tariffs were unlawful, opening $166 billion in refunds across 53 million entry summaries and 330,000 importers of record. Atlanta and Southeast importers are among those eligible. Per CBP’s September 15, 2026 filing (data as of September 11, 2026), $134.7 billion has been accepted for CAPE processing and $122 billion disbursed to importers. CBP’s CAPE Phases 1 and 2 are actively processing refunds; Phase 3 launched October 6, 2026, with eligibility generally limited to importers who were the IOR on entries liquidated by July 30, 2026.
Atlanta’s position as a Southeast distribution hub means Georgia importers handle high volumes of goods from China and Southeast Asia — all potentially IEEPA-refund eligible.
Georgia’s growing automotive corridor — including EV and battery manufacturing supply chains — imports components from IEEPA-affected origins.
Georgia retailers importing apparel, electronics, and home goods from China, Vietnam, and Cambodia faced some of the highest effective IEEPA duty rates.
Atlanta’s tech sector imports hardware, components, and finished devices from Taiwan and China — high-value entries with significant refund potential.
Which Phase Covers Your Entries?
CBP is processing IEEPA refunds in three phases. Your eligibility depends on your entry liquidation status and whether a Type 09 reconciliation entry has been filed.
Unliquidated & Recent Entries
Entries not yet liquidated, or liquidated within 80 days of your CAPE Declaration filing date. Open since April 20, 2026. No Type 09 restriction.
Reconciliation Entries
Entry Types 01, 02, 06 flagged for reconciliation with no Type 09 filed. Open since June 29, 2026. File CAPE Declaration before Type 09 — sequence matters.
Finally Liquidated Entries
Phase 3 launched October 6, 2026. Eligibility is generally limited to importers who were the IOR on entries liquidated by July 30, 2026. If your entries liquidated before that date, contact us to confirm your eligibility.
