Supplier Recovery
Recover tariff costs that may be hidden in supplier pricing
You do not need to be the Importer of Record to absorb tariff-related costs.
Those costs may move through supplier pricing, surcharges, landed-cost adjustments, freight changes, or other commercial charges before reaching your business.
Pacific Trade Recovery (PTR) helps identify where those costs may have entered the supplier relationship, prioritize supported recovery opportunities, and execute a recovery strategy that reflects both potential value and the importance of the supplier relationship.
The full picture
The customs refund may not tell the full financial story
Customs records show who imported the goods and who paid duties directly. They do not always show which business ultimately absorbed the cost.

PTR connects customs-side activity with procurement and supplier records to help determine where the economic burden may have landed and whether the available documentation supports further recovery analysis.
