Money Back & Duty Savings
You may be paying more than you need to. We review your import history for overpaid duties, tariff savings, supplier leakage, refund opportunities, and recurring cost that can be corrected going forward.
Stuck in customs?
Facing a CBP issue, questionable HTS, broker problems, or overpaid duties?
Or simply want to know what could be improved?
We know what to look for and what to do next.
Money can be lost through duties, classification, brokerage, freight, warehousing, supplier practices, or inefficient processes. But cost is only part of the problem.
Repeated CBP holds, difficult clearances, broker issues, documentation gaps, and recurring shipment delays can be just as damaging.
MGS looks across the entire import operation to find where money, time, and control are being lost.
If shipments are being held, CBP keeps raising questions, clearances are inconsistent, or costs keep creeping up, we trace the issue to its source.
Then we correct the process, strengthen the controls, identify duty savings and refund opportunities, and provide CBP support when issues arise. When execution is needed, we bring in the right partner from our vetted network.
We treat your import program like it matters, because we know your business depends on it.
Our Approach
We uncover where your import program is losing money, time, or control. From duties and classification to CBP holds, broker performance, supplier data, freight, and warehousing.
We identify overpayments, refunds, tariff savings, supplier leakage, and other recoverable value, then help pursue what is available.
We correct the classification, documentation, clearance, broker, supplier, or process issue causing the problem and coordinate the right resources to resolve it.
We strengthen controls, oversight, and processes so the same issue does not keep repeating across future shipments.
Find the issue. Recover the value. Fix the cause. Prevent the repeat.
Solutions
You may be paying more than you need to. We review your import history for overpaid duties, tariff savings, supplier leakage, refund opportunities, and recurring cost that can be corrected going forward.
If shipments are being held, delayed, or repeatedly questioned, we trace the issue to its source and help coordinate the corrective steps needed to get freight moving.
If products are classified, valued, sourced, or entered incorrectly, one bad data point can repeat across every shipment. We review the entry process, technical support, and controls behind it.
Keep your team. Add experienced trade compliance support behind it. We help with broker oversight, entry review, classifications, supplier issues, CBP escalations, projects, and day-to-day compliance.
Need a broker, freight solution, warehouse, or specialized operational resource? We evaluate the need, connect you with a vetted partner, and stay involved from the trade compliance side.
If you are unsure whether a product needs a license, special documentation, or export review, we determine what is required and help guide the process from classification through shipment.

Who We Work With
Built for high-volume importers with complex supply chains, significant customs exposure, and large entry volumes. We help identify financial leakage, reduce duty costs, resolve compliance issues, and strengthen import operations.
The fix depends on why it is held: classification, documentation, valuation or an exam. Step one is finding out which. If it keeps happening, that is a pattern in your entries, not bad luck.
What usually causes itThe International Emergency Economic Powers Act sits behind several recent tariff actions. Whether your entries qualify for a refund depends on what was actually filed, and refund work runs through a licensed customs broker.
How IEEPA refunds workYou usually cannot see it on the invoices. Overpayment looks like a small percentage, applied consistently, for years. A review of your historical entries answers it one way or the other.
How a review finds itRecurring problems are a pattern sitting in the entries. Someone senior finds the pattern and corrects the cause, instead of firefighting each incident. That is what Trade Compliance Management is for.
