Import Duty & Tariff Recovery

Recover overpaid duties and tariffs with a specialist review of your import history — most importers overpay and never look back.

The Business Problem

Duty overpayments are hidden in HTS classifications, valuation, and country-of-origin decisions.

Customs brokers file entries at speed and typically default to conservative classifications. Errors compound quietly across thousands of entries.

Section 301 tariffs, exclusions, first-sale valuation, and duty drawback each represent recovery levers that most importers never systematically evaluate.

How Tax Relief Exchange Helps

A marketplace, not a firm

We identify opportunities, then privately connect businesses to the right independent professional.

  1. Step 1

    We match you with a customs attorney or specialist firm experienced in tariff recovery, drawback, and post-entry work.

  2. Step 2

    The specialist reviews entry history, classifications, and valuation basis for recoverable amounts.

  3. Step 3

    They prepare and file post-summary corrections, protests, and drawback claims where warranted.

  4. Step 4

    Tax Relief Exchange does not provide customs or legal advice. Outcomes vary by importer.

Why Timing Matters

Customs claims run on strict statutory windows.

Post-summary corrections are generally available for 300 days after entry. Protests are due within 180 days of liquidation.

Duty drawback claims have their own five-year statute — and require documentation that gets harder to reconstruct with time.
