According to a recent LinkedIn post from Flexport, the company’s trade advisory experts are emphasizing the continued importance of filing protests for liquidated entries despite the upcoming launch of CAPE, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s automated IEEPA refund system. The post cites Flexport Director of Trade Advisory Jennifer Park, who suggests that uncertainty around whether CAPE uploads will halt liquidation cycles in time makes adherence to current protest deadlines in May through July a prudent risk-mitigation step for importers.

The LinkedIn post highlights Flexport’s positioning as a specialized advisor on tariff and customs-compliance issues at a time when regulatory processes are shifting toward automation. For investors, this focus may indicate opportunities for Flexport to deepen client relationships, drive demand for advisory services, and potentially increase wallet share among trade-intensive customers seeking guidance on refund eligibility and compliance strategy as CAPE is rolled out.
As shared in the post, Flexport is promoting its recent Tariff Trends webinar as a resource for additional insights, which suggests ongoing efforts to educate the market and reinforce thought leadership in international trade. If this content strategy successfully attracts and retains customers navigating complex U.S. customs procedures, it could support higher engagement on Flexport’s platform and contribute indirectly to revenue growth in its trade management and advisory offerings.
