Manual Duty Recovery Review

Find missed duty recovery opportunities from one redacted CSV

DutySignal helps importers spot likely refund exposure, document gaps, and margin-risk SKUs from a single CSV export. This is a manual review service built for fast triage, not a self-serve software platform.

Redacted files accepted. You can replace names, SKUs, and product labels with aliases.

A fast review for import records that may be leaking money

If you import physical goods, you may have entries worth reviewing for duty recovery or product lines where landed costs are eating margin harder than expected.

DutySignal reviews one redacted CSV and returns a client-ready report that helps you answer:

How the review works

1. Send one CSV

Export one spreadsheet in CSV format. Redaction is allowed.

2. We review it manually

We analyze likely duty recovery exposure, evidence readiness, and margin-risk signals.

3. Get a clear report back

You receive a structured report showing what looks worth pursuing, what still needs support, and what should be prioritized first.

What’s included in the review

  • Executive Summary
  • Recovery Opportunity Snapshot
  • Qualified vs. Needs Documents counts
  • Top Priority Entries
  • Margin Risk Snapshot
  • Recommended Next Steps
  • Recovery Worklist for follow-up

This is a decision and triage review. It does not include customs filing, legal advice, or broker representation.

What to send us

Send one CSV with core import and margin fields. The ideal file includes:

entry_id, entry_date, importer_name, supplier_name, country_of_origin, declared_value_usd, duty_paid_usd, freight_cost_usd, sku, product_name, quantity, selling_price_usd

Optional but useful:

hs_code, marketplace, fba_fee_usd, referral_fee_usd, other_cost_usd, entry_packet_on_hand, broker_backup_on_hand, commercial_invoice_on_hand, classification_support_on_hand

You may replace importer name, supplier name, SKU, and product name with aliases as long as the aliases stay consistent across rows.

Built for cautious first reviews

We understand import records can be sensitive. That is why DutySignal accepts redacted CSVs for initial review. You do not need to send full operational detail just to test whether a review is useful.

For first-pass reviews, structured row data matters more than brand names.

FAQ

Do I need to send unredacted files?

No. Redacted CSVs are fine for initial review as long as the row structure and key numeric fields remain intact.

Is this software access?

No. DutySignal is currently a manual review service. You send the file, and we return the report.

Do you file claims for us?

Not as part of the pilot review. The pilot is designed to identify likely opportunities, document gaps, and next steps.
