Tariff refund recovery
The tariffs you overpaid are refundable. The process to claim them isn't.
The IEEPA duties U.S. importers paid are recoverable — but CBP's CAPE process is narrow, deadline-driven, and unforgiving. Corvant reads your entry summaries with cutting-edge AI, validates every line against the rules CBP actually enforces, and routes each part of the claim to the right lane: self-file, recovery counsel, or a factor for liquidity.

How it works
Drop in your entries. The platform does the rest.
Every IEEPA refund starts as a stack of CBP Form 7501s that has to be read, validated, and filed through the CAPE portal. Corvant automates that spine end to end.
01 · Read
AI vision reads every 7501.
Entry numbers, HTS lines, country of origin, entered value, and liquidation date — pulled the moment you upload. No manual keying; hundreds of entries in the time it takes to drag them in.
02 · Route
Every entry sorts into its lane.
CAPE for what a broker can file directly, counsel for contested or multi-country exposure, factoring for verified receivables — validated against the portal's exact format first, so nothing bounces.
03 · Reconcile
Never file the same entry twice.
When CBP results come back, Corvant subtracts what's already filed from what's still owed — so the next phase of work targets only the remainder. Live today, not coming soon.
For importers
File your own claims — and see what you're owed first.
Upload your 7501s and Corvant lays out precisely what's recoverable and by when. It confirms you're a filer CBP will accept, checks refund banking is authorized before anything goes in, and won't let you export a broken claim — the pre-validation gate is the difference between a refund that lands and one that silently fails.
For customs brokers
Run CAPE recovery across your whole book.
Drag 7501s across every importer you manage and get back a CAPE-ready declaration per client, validated before the portal sees it. Multiple IORs collapse into one compliant filing, and one view shows what's filed, what's owed, and what's about to expire — across the entire book.
For recovery counsel
Documented matters, not raw leads.
Only the portions that genuinely need a lawyer route to you — contested classifications, protest-track entries, multi-country exposure. Each arrives as a documented matter: entries already extracted and validated, exposure and filing status on the record, the client's identity masked until you engage.
For factoring firms
Advance against a verified claim, not a guess.
Corvant routes you a documented receivable instead of a blind number: real entries, real face value, filing status on record. You underwrite what you can see. The introduction is clean — your terms, directly with the importer. Corvant doesn't sit in the transaction.
The hybrid reality
Most claims are mixed.
A single importer often has a CAPE-eligible portion a broker files fast, a contested portion that needs counsel, and a factoring option layered on for liquidity. Corvant keeps importer, broker, counsel, factor, and CPA on the same record and the same timeline — surfacing every viable pathway instead of forcing one channel.
Clean, in-window entries a broker or importer files directly through the portal.
Contested classifications and multi-country exposure routed to vetted recovery counsel.
Verified receivables an importer can borrow against while CBP pays out.
