How it works

4 simple steps that reclaim revenue

Our workflow starts and ends with the systems your finance team uses (ERP, ACE, filing software), giving you a complete drawback practice without touching the underlying infrastructure you want to keep.

STEP 01

Clean up your files

Turn a stack of disorganized, non-standardized trade documents into a clean base for claims.

  • Import Excel/CSV, PDFs, ACE exports, EDI, and scans
  • Sift, split, de-dupe, classify, and parse every file
  • Pull out data including HTS codes, entry and port numbers, quantities, and duties
STEP 02

Capture every claim

Turn your cleaned data into full claim packages for every opportunity available to you.

  • Analyze imports-to-exports for all five drawback types
  • Identify every possible claim from the past five years
  • Draft an initial claim for every opportunity you find
STEP 03

Review every line

Self-audit your claim before you submit it, and fix every reason it might get challenged or rejected.

  • Run multiple parsers and models to pressure test your claim using CBP's own logic
  • Flag every value that needs to be manually reviewed
  • Eliminate errors, check your math, and defend every item
STEP 04

File your claim

Complete the workflow with everything you need to submit a fully defensible drawback claim.

  • Receive a complete submission package
  • Build CBP-compatible audit logs for your submission
  • File in-platform using your own code, or export your claim to file it off-platform
The platform

The drawback workflow you always wanted

Work with messy, disorganized, and damaged files

Collect accurate drawback data even when fields and names for values do not match from file to file, and documents are stamped or skewed.

Claim every type of drawback provision

Identify and file for direct identification, substitution, manufacturing, unused, rejected, MPF, HMF, IRT, surcharge, and China duty recovery.

File accurate, defensible, low-risk claims

Apply the "lesser of" cap, separate out AD/CVD and IEEPA exclusions, and defend every value and claim using CBP's own criteria and logic.

Track the progress of every claim

Structure the claims submission process into logical steps, and see the current step for every claim in your queue from a single dashboard.

Integrate seamlessly with your existing tech stack

Create secure connections through native ERP integrations, API-first workflows, and our SOC2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliant architecture.

Trust & accuracy

Can you trust the number? Click any line and see exactly how we got there.

Every dollar shows its math.

Click a match and see the "lesser of" calc, the 99% refund factor, and which fees rode along: duty, MPF, HMF, and IRT.

duty_recoverable = min(import_duty, export_duty) × 0.99
+ mpf × 0.99 + hmf × 0.99

Every excluded duty is named.

AD/CVD, IEEPA-restricted orders, and out-of-window imports are itemized, never silently dropped from your total.

excluded · AD/CVD case A-570-879
excluded · IEEPA EO 14257 (reciprocal)
excluded · imported > 5y from filing date

Every estimate cites the rule.

Each match links to the statutory basis (19 USC § 1313) and the relevant 19 CFR Part 190 section, with confidence shown line-by-line.

Estimates are estimates. Final refund is determined by CBP at liquidation. We tell you the confidence level on every line, and we are not your lawyer. Not legal advice.
