Tariff classification and duty recovery

Lower duties. Defensible codes. Refunds you’re still owed.

Brokers file the codes you give them. We research your whole product portfolio for every lower-rate code and exemption, then keep it current as the rules change.

How it works

Classify, implement, recover

01

Classify

We research composition, applications and end users to find the lowest defensible code and every exemption.

02

Implement

ACE Importer Portal setup, plus broker and freight strategy with your procurement team.

03

Recover

We find duties owed back on past entries and exported goods: IEEPA refunds, rate corrections and drawback.

IEEPA refunds

Is your refund actually being handled?

It depends on who filed your entries and whether they’ve liquidated. We check every entry for free.

Likely covered

Shipped by express carrier

If FedEx or UPS was your broker or importer of record, they’re filing CBP refund claims and passing the credit back.

Check now

Your own importer number

Unliquidated entries can be claimed through CBP’s refund process, but only if someone files. Entries left off a claim stay unpaid.

Time-sensitive

Already liquidated

These need a court case, and some claims may expire as early as February 2027. We’ll flag them for your counsel.

FAQ

Common questions

Are you a customs broker?

No. We do the research and documentation; your broker or counsel files. You keep the broker you have.

Is tariff engineering legal?

Yes, when the classification is accurate and documented. Every code we recommend comes with the legal basis behind it.

What do you need to start?

Our product data template for one item, plus a recent entry summary. That’s enough for the free review.

How is spend under management measured?

From your ACE entry data, counting only the items we manage. You don’t route every shipment through us.
