CORRECTED Enrollment Reference Sheet Link: CBP Electronic Refunds via Automated Clearing House (ACH) – Effective February 6, 2026

A message from CBP: 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently improved the Automated Clearing House (ACH) refund sign-up process in support of Executive Order 14247 and the mandatory transition to electronic refunds on February 6, 2025, as announced in the
Federal Register.

To authorize ACH refunds, the trade community must now use the Automated Commercial Environment Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal). Learn more below about how to get an ACE Portal account and use the new ACH refund authorization tool.

To access CBP’s Electronic Refund Enrollment Reference Sheet, please click on this link. 

For those who do not currently have ACE Portal account access, use the new automated application to create a top account with the importer subaccount view.
