✓End-to-end audit trail: export → CAPE outcome → payments.
✓Corrected-entry repackage from accepted-with-errors declarations.
✓90-day refund window tracked with overdue alerts.
✓CBP template drift detection — exports freeze on format changes.
✓AES-256-GCM encryption for PII fields at rest.

The complete filing loop

1
Import & evaluate
Import ACE entry data via CSV. Versioned eligibility rules classify each entry as processable now, deferred, or blocked — flagging finality status, protest-window posture, AD/CVD holds, drawback, open protests, and 11 other CBP Phase 1 exclusion conditions.
2
Build the CAPE package
Validated CBP-template CSV batches are generated with the exact "Entry Number" column structure, enforcing the 9,999-entry limit and recording sha256 hashes, rules version, and refund estimates in a signed manifest.
3
File through ACE Portal
The broker uploads the CSV to ACE Portal in their own attended session — no credentials stored in Palletizr. Record the CAPE outcome (accepted, accepted with errors, or rejected) with upload job number and evidence document references.
4
Repackage rejected entries
For accepted-with-errors declarations, a one-click correction export rebuilds a new CAPE package from only the rejected entries, preventing duplicate submissions and maintaining a clean audit trail.
5
Monitor & close
Track the 90-day CBP refund window with overdue alerts. Record ACH payments via REV-603/615, mark netting or ACH-rejection outcomes, and export the full audit pack ZIP — hash-chained JSON, Markdown memo, and evidence index.

What's live today

✓Claim lifecycle: draft → ready → filed → delayed / ach_rejected / netted → posted → closed, with guard rails at every transition.
✓CAPE outcome capture: Record accepted, accepted-with-errors, rejected, and upload-rejected outcomes against specific filing packages with trusted R2 evidence references.
✓Corrected-entry repackage: One-click correction export from an accepted-with-errors outcome; duplicate-submission guard enforced by signature hash.
✓Refund window monitoring: 90-day deadline tracked from filing date. Color-coded countdown on every claim: green → amber (14 days) → red (overdue).
✓Payment recording: Multiple payments per claim. Supports REV-603, REV-613, REV-615, ES-701, ES-702, ACH, check, and other form types.
✓Audit pack ZIP: Downloadable ZIP per claim: hash-chained audit JSON, Markdown memo, evidence index, and MANIFEST.json — no external PDF library required.
✓CFO summary: Importer-level summary report with claims by status, total estimated vs. received refunds, overdue window flags, and payment breakdown by form type.
✓Portal drift gate: CBP source URLs are monitored by SHA-256 hash. A high-severity change to the CAPE CSV template freezes new exports until an admin resolves the alert.
✓Field-level encryption: PII columns (email, signer IP) are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Backwards-compatible — plaintext rows are returned as-is.
✓Hash-chained audit log: Every status change, export, payment, and outcome is appended to a tamper-evident audit chain, scoped per importer.

Scanner tools

Highlight eligible rows, export a local CSV, upload to ACE Portal manually. Discovery is fast, but the filing record lives in spreadsheets and email chains — no systematic protest-window monitoring, no corrected-entry workflow, no reconciliation trail.

Palletizr CAPE

A complete, auditable system of record from first import through payment confirmation. Eligibility evaluation, CBP-template CSV generation, CAPE outcome capture, corrected-entry repackaging, 90-day refund-window monitoring, and downloadable audit pack ZIPs — all with a hash-chained audit log.

Data boundary

The broker completes ACE login, MFA, and CSV upload in their own attended session. Palletizr stores the filing package, manifests, CAPE outcome records, evidence document references, attestations, and refund payments — never ACE passwords, session cookies, or MFA secrets. PII fields are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.

CBP Phase 1 compliance

Exports enforce the conservative 9,999-entry batch limit, the exact CBP "Entry Number" column structure, and all Phase 1 hard-block rules (final liquidation, reconciliation, drawback, open protest, AD/CVD pending, and more). A portal drift monitor watches the CBP CAPE CSV template URL and freezes new exports if the format changes unexpectedly.
