Direct Tariff Recovery

Turn customs entries into a controlled recovery process

For Importers of Record, direct tariff recovery begins with the customs-side record: entry summaries, duty payments, broker files, and supporting transaction data.

Pacific Trade Recovery (PTR) helps organize fragmented customs information into a structured recovery framework, identify which records warrant further review, coordinate administrative workflows, and maintain visibility from initial assessment through financial closeout.

The customs record

Build the recovery record from your core customs data

Direct tariff recovery generally begins when your organization acts as the Importer of Record or otherwise participates directly in customs-side activity.

The supporting information may be spread across internal systems, customs brokers, entry packets, commercial records, and historical filings. PTR helps bring those sources together into one controlled record, including:

Entry and transaction data

Organize customs entry summaries, CBP Form 7501s, commercial invoices, bills of lading, and related transaction records.

Duty-payment records

Connect duty payments and tariff-related charges with the relevant entries, products, and transaction periods.

Broker files

Consolidate information across customs brokers, entry packets, filing records, and supporting documentation.

Existing recovery activity

Map prior corrections, protests, refunds, drawback activity, or other customs-side matters where relevant to the administrative record.

The objective is to create a clearer view of what occurred, what documentation is available, and where additional review may be warranted.

Focused review

Separate actionable records from operational noise

Large import operations can generate thousands of entry lines across different ports, brokers, products, classification codes, dates, and transaction periods. Not every record requires the same level of attention.
