Export Your ES-003 Report from CBP ACE

This guide walks through exporting the ES-003 Entry Summary Master Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Automated Commercial Environment portal. The entry summary data contains HTS classification codes, duty amounts, filing dates, and country of origin — all necessary for identifying refund opportunities under emergency trade orders. Step 1: Log into the portal at ace.cbp.dhs.gov using login.gov credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to the Reports tab in the main navigation menu and select the appropriate reporting module. Step 3: Locate the ES-003 under Public Folders, then U.S. Customs and Border Protection, then Trade, then Entry Summary. Step 4: Schedule the export in Excel or CSV format with a date range covering at least the past 12 months to capture all potentially refundable entries.

Once downloaded, upload the file to our free calculator for instant duty analysis and classification. The ES-003 is the most comprehensive entry summary dataset available and includes all fields necessary for classification. If you have difficulty accessing the portal or generating the download, contact a licensed customs broker — they can pull the data on behalf of importers. Most brokers have direct portal access and can generate the file in minutes.

After uploading, our platform instantly classifies each entry by program type, calculates potential amounts, and provides a detailed breakdown of options including immediate cash offers from institutional investors and litigation pathways through experienced trade counsel. The entire process from download to results takes less than five minutes for most importers.
