U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced that effective June 29, 2026, CAPE will accept entries flagged for reconciliation (entry types 01, 02, and 06) for which the related reconciliation entry (entry type 09) has not yet been filed.
CBP confirmed that all filing and processing requirements from the first phase of CAPE remain in effect; notably, acceptance remains limited to unliquidated entries and entries within 80 days of liquidation.
Once an entry flagged for reconciliation is accepted on a CAPE declaration, the corresponding reconciliation entry may then be filed.
However, CBP cautioned that if the reconciliation filing deadline is approaching (e.g. where fewer than 30 days remain), priority should be given to filing the reconciliation entry to avoid missing the deadline.
CBP also noted that while entries flagged for reconciliation for which a reconciliation entry is already on file are not yet covered by this functionality, those entries are expected to be addressed in a future phase of CAPE development.
