Demystifying IEEPA recovery: Streamlining the CBP’s CAPE submission process

Leveraging our proprietary trade analytics and Tariff Modeler on KPMG Digital Gateway, we generate custom IEEPA recovery ACE data reports based on KPMG customization protocols and analyze the data at scale. We build the complete "entry universe" segment according to CAPE's strict rules, and sequence our CAPE declaration submission strategies while tracking future tariff payments for potential recovery. 

Our IEEPA tracking dashboard in Digital Gateway provides end-to-end tracking of every claim, tying the consolidated cash refund directly back to the original entry for your finance and accounting teams.

Unlike brokers, KPMG provides holistic support on accounting considerations (e.g., ASC 740), audit-readiness, and governance around claims and controls, enabling you to evaluate when and how benefits should be recognized. For entries ineligible for Phase 1 or that may require protests, KPMG maintains a consolidated list of remaining entries to be addressed via subsequent CAPE phases and protests.

As a global accounting and advisory firm, we bring a defensible methodology and institutional credibility that matters when refunds are large and subject to internal and external scrutiny.

We offer flexible pricing arrangements, including success-based fee models, fixed-fee engagements for defined scopes of work, and per-entry pricing where appropriate. The specific approach will depend on your importer profile, the level of effort required, and any applicable independence considerations.
