How It Works
From audit to recovery, a disciplined 5-step process.
Tariff recovery becomes risky when it is treated as a one-click administrative event. The better approach is a structured review that starts with data, clarifies timing, and aligns the business around a concrete path forward.

Step 1
Forensic Entry Audit and Qualification
We begin with a structured review of import history, duty exposure, product categories, and available entry-level information to understand where meaningful recovery opportunity may exist. The goal of this first step is not guesswork. It is to create a clearer picture of the facts, the records, and the potential range of exposure.
Step 2
Timing and Rights Review
Once the exposure picture begins to take shape, the next question is timing. We review entry posture, available documentation, and procedural considerations so opportunities can be prioritized intelligently instead of treated as one undifferentiated mass.
Step 3
Recovery Path Design
Not every matter belongs in the same lane. Some situations point toward refund review. Others require protest-related analysis, drawback consideration, or broader strategy around how the business should proceed. This step is about choosing the path that makes the most sense for the facts.
Step 4
Documentation and Process Coordination
Recovery work stalls when no one owns the document flow, the internal handoffs, or the next-action sequence. Tariff Action helps organize the moving pieces so the business can act with more discipline and less friction.
Step 5
Monitoring, Readiness, and Capital Recovery Support
A good process does not end at submission or strategy selection. Businesses also need visibility into what comes next, how recovery may affect operations or reporting, and what internal stakeholders need to be prepared for if capital is returned.
