Who it’s for

Who uses
DutyRecoverAI

For Importers

Mid-size importers

$5M–$200M import value

No in-house compliance team. Your broker never proactively audited you. Every liquidated entry is a potential refund sitting unclaimed.

Calculate your recovery
For Brokers

Customs brokers

50–200 client relationships

Differentiate from competitors. Add a recovery revenue stream to your existing client base without hiring more analysts.

Add recovery to your practice
For Finance

CFOs & finance teams

Duty recovery is measurable revenue — not a compliance exercise. ROI is realized in weeks, not quarters, with no capital outlay.

The Recovery Gap

What your broker is
not checking

Brokers file entries. They do not audit them. The five recovery mechanisms below require a dedicated lookback scan — and most importers have never had one.

Recovery engine

Five detectors, one scan

Most firms check one recovery mechanism. We check all five — because each has its own deadline.

Why now

The regulatory landscape
is shifting

$10B+
In unclaimed drawback annually
CBP estimates less than 5% of eligible importers actively pursue drawback refunds.
3–8%
Average overpayment on duty spend
Entry errors, duplicate filings, and missed exclusions compound across every shipment.
2018
When Section 301 changed everything
China-origin tariffs created billions in retroactive refund opportunities that remain uncollected.
180d
The protest window that expires silently
Once a liquidation passes 180 days without protest, the recovery right is permanently forfeited.
