Why Teams Struggle to Ship
Your Data Is a Mess
The information needed for tariff refunds is scattered across PDFs, Excel files, ERP systems, bills of lading, and commercial invoices. Traditional providers need months just to organize it by hand.
It Takes 9-12 Months
Legacy drawback providers still use manual spreadsheets and desktop software from the 1990s. A company filing for the first time can wait an entire year from document submission to receiving a single dollar back.
Most Companies Are Turned Away
If your annual refund potential is under $100K, traditional providers won't take your case. The manual process is too expensive for them to bother. Most small and mid-size importers get nothing.
