How can importers recover overpaid tariffs using GLP Tariff Advantage Intelligence™?
Tariff recovery enables importers to reclaim duties and fees paid in excess due to classification errors, incorrect origin determinations, missed exemptions, or misapplied trade remedies. GLP Tariff Advantage Intelligence™ streamlines recovery by combining proprietary analytics, historical import data reconciliation, and compliance workflow automation to identify recoverable overpayments and support claims.
The platform first runs a comprehensive data audit across Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classifications, country‑of‑origin entries, valuation fields, and applied quotas or antidumping/countervailing duties. Using rule‑based and machine learning detectors, it flags high‑probability recovery opportunities and quantifies potential refunds. GLP then generates audit-ready documentation maps that link invoice lines, entry summaries, and legal citations to strengthen re‑duty or reclaim petitions with customs authorities and brokers.
GLP supports multiple recovery scenarios: retrospective reclamations, Post-Import Corrections (PFCs), protests, and class-wide recovery analyses for recurring errors. The system prioritizes claims by likelihood and monetary impact and automates communication templates for Customs, brokers, and legal counsel. Built‑in controls preserve chain-of-custody evidence and retention schedules to meet statutory windows and appeal deadlines.
Best practices include integrating GLP with ERP and customs systems, maintaining granular invoice and freight records, and running quarterly recovery scans. Customers typically see rapid ROI through recovered duties, reduced broker exposure, and strengthened classification governance. Contact GLP to run a no‑obligation discovery scan to estimate recovery potential for your import portfolio.
