Solutions / 01  ·  Money Back & Duty Savings

Your import history may already show where the money went.

MGS reviews actual 7501s, ACE history, supplier records, tariff treatment, broker data, and supporting documents to identify overpayments, missed savings, supplier leakage, and other recurring costs that may be recoverable or preventable.

Recognize this?

Signs you may have a problem.

Your effective duty rate has increased and nobody can clearly explain why.
The same products have different tariff treatment across entries or brokers.
Chapter 98/99, FTA, 301/232, or other special treatment may not be applied consistently.
Supplier invoices, landed cost, and entry value do not reconcile cleanly.
You have never reviewed historical ACE / 7501 data for recovery opportunities.
A classification correction could change both past and future duty exposure.
Refund opportunities are being discussed, but no one owns the entry-by-entry calculation and recovery path.

Where we look

What MGS checks.

It can start at the supplier A customs problem can start at the supplier before the shipment ever moves. We help make sure the information feeding your broker and entry process is accurate, complete, and consistent.

Technical depth

Capabilities.

Recovery

  • Historical duty and tariff recovery reviews.

  • Drawback and other refund opportunity identification.
  • IEEPA-related refund review, with filings through a licensed customs broker.

Savings

  • HTS-driven duty savings and reclassification analysis.
  • Chapter 98/99 and preferential-treatment reviews.
  • Valuation and landed-cost review.

Prevention

  • Supplier leakage and overbilling analysis.
  • Supplier billing and cost-variance analysis when financial leakage is suspected.
  • Future-state broker and master-data correction so the same cost does not continue.

What success looks like

Recover what is supportable, correct the underlying cause, and lower the chance that the same cost keeps repeating on future imports.

Common questions

Asked in importers' own words.

Are we paying more duty than we should?

Possibly. The signs are an effective duty rate that has risen without a clear reason, the same product carrying different tariff treatment across entries or brokers, or special treatment such as Chapter 98/99 applied inconsistently. A review of the 7501 population and ACE history answers it one way or the other.

Can we recover duties we already paid?

Where the entries support it, yes. Depending on the entry and the timing, the path may be a post-entry correction, protest, reconciliation, or drawback. MGS validates the position entry by entry, builds the calculation, and coordinates the recovery pathway. No figure is quoted before the data has been reviewed.

Why did our landed cost suddenly increase?

Usually one of four things: a tariff action such as Section 301 or 232, a classification change, a valuation or supplier billing shift, or a broker instruction applied differently than before. We compare supplier invoices, entry values, and tariff treatment to find which one moved.

Are we missing Chapter 98/99 or tariff-saving opportunities?

It is common. Special provisions and preferential treatment are only as consistent as the broker master data behind them. We review Chapter 98/99 treatment, FTA eligibility, and effective duty rate by product family to see where supportable savings are being left on the table.

Is our supplier billing creating hidden import cost?

It can, and it rarely shows up as a single obvious error. Recurring variance between supplier invoices, entry values, and supporting transaction records only becomes visible when they are compared across the population. That comparison is part of the review.

What does our ACE history say about where money is leaking?

More than most importers expect. ACE and 7501 history show classification, tariff treatment, value, and origin entry by entry, which is where repeated overpayment hides. If nobody has reviewed that history for recovery, it is the first place to look.

I heard about these IEEPA tariffs. Can we get a refund?

IEEPA is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the authority behind several recent tariff actions. Whether any of your entries qualify depends on what was actually filed: classification, origin, entry dates, and the tariff programs applied. The review starts with your real entry data, and refund filings run through a licensed customs broker.

Start with a look at your own entry data.

Send us the scope of your import program. We will tell you whether a review is worth running, and nothing is quoted as a recovery figure until real entries have been reviewed.
