CASE STUDY

$340,000 CBP Refund Recovered for Our Client

The Backstory:
A client had been importing a manufactured product into the U.S., which their experienced foreign supplier claimed was ineligible for USMCA preferential treatment. The product consisted of components from multiple countries and underwent several processing steps. Based on the supplier’s assessment, USMCA free trade agreement status did not apply, and duties were therefore paid on all imports of this product.

Our Strategic Approach:
Despite the initial determination, we advised our client that we could conduct a comprehensive USMCA eligibility analysis. Through our in-depth internal review—not through a CBP ruling—we determined that the product was misclassified and did meet the criteria for duty-free treatment under the USMCA agreement

The Outcome:
Our findings were validated when CBP concurred with our assessment, and we successfully filed a Protest to recover duties. As a result, our client received a $340,000 refund from CBP. This case highlights the value of our compliance expertise and proactive, client-focused approach.
