Step 02

AI-powered detectors scan simultaneously

The moment your data is uploaded, all eligible detectors fire automatically. Each detector targets a different recovery mechanism with its own regulatory basis, deadline, and calculation methodology.

Duty Drawback — matches imports vs exports
Section 301 — USTR exclusion database matching
FTA Origin — 14+ trade agreement analysis
Entry Errors — duplicates, MPF/HMF, rate mismatches
Protest Monitor — 180-day deadline tracking

Why us

Why DutyRecoverAI

Built specifically for duty recovery — not a general-purpose trade tool

5 detectors, one scan

Most firms check one recovery mechanism. We check all five simultaneously because each has its own deadline and dollar value. No configuration needed — every detector runs automatically on every upload.

Real dollar amounts, not estimates

Every opportunity shows a specific dollar value, not a range or a "potential savings" hand-wave. We calculate from your actual entry data — duties paid, HTS codes, quantities, and dates.

No broker license required

DutyRecoverAI is an intelligence platform, not a customs broker. We identify and quantify — your licensed broker handles the filing. This means we can serve you without regulatory conflicts.

90-day free audit

Upload 90 days of data and see real results before paying anything. Our two most powerful detectors (Drawback + Section 301) run free. If we don't find money, you've lost nothing but 2 minutes.

Deadline protection

The Protest Monitor watches every liquidation date and alerts you before the 180-day window closes. This is the most common reason recoveries are permanently lost — and we make sure it never happens to you.

Enterprise-grade security

Row-Level Security ensures complete data isolation between organizations. Your entry data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your data with third parties.

Powered by authoritative data sources

We cross-reference your entries against official government and regulatory databases
