U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has launched the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE), a new system to process tariff refunds following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn certain IEEPA-based tariffs.

More than $160 billion in duties collected from importers is expected to be reimbursed. Companies can now submit claims through CAPE, with refunds generally issued within 60–90 days after a claim is accepted.

🇺🇸 🇹🇼 Recognizing efforts that strengthen global supply chains 🤝

We would like to acknowledge, New Mexico’s representative in Taiwan, for leading a 10-member Taiwanese investment delegation on a recent investment environment study tour to New Mexico, part of the New Mexico Economic Development Department’s broader efforts to expand the State's global reach.

The delegation represented a diverse range of forward-looking industries including battery and solar panel recycling, advanced manufacturing, AI data centers, and semiconductor-related sectors, highlighting Taiwan’s strength in innovation and sustainable technologies.

During their visit, the group explored the Santa Teresa industrial area, engaged with local Taiwanese business leaders, and connected with the New Mexico Economic Development Department. These interactions provided valuable insights into New Mexico’s business environment and opened the door for future collaboration.

Efforts like these play a key role in strengthening Taiwan–U.S. supply chain cooperation. With Taiwan’s expertise in advanced manufacturing and New Mexico’s strategic advantages, there is strong potential to build more resilient, innovative, and mutually beneficial partnerships.

We appreciate Ethan’s leadership in fostering these connections and look forward to continued engagement.
