Duty drawback records review
Review drawback records before anyone starts making claim promises.
A duty drawback records review should answer whether the company has usable source data, not whether a refund is guaranteed. The first job is to separate import evidence, downstream movement, match keys, and gaps.
What a records review should organize.
The first pass should identify entry lines, duty and tariff amounts, supplier and product fields, import dates, shipment references, invoices, internal SKU or item keys, and the source system owner for each data export. If the company cannot explain where these records live, the next step is a data gap memo, not a claim model.
What downstream evidence should be checked.
Depending on the fact pattern, downstream records may include export shipments, re-exports, returns, rejected goods, substitutions, destruction records, RMAs, lot or serial movement, sales orders, warehouse transactions, or BOM relationships. A useful screen names which evidence exists and which evidence is missing.
Where the screen should stop.
Trade Recovery Data does not provide legal advice, customs brokerage, HTS classification, drawback eligibility opinions, claim preparation, claim filing, or refund guarantees. If the records appear material and traceable, the right next step is a cleaner specialist-review packet and specific questions for a licensed provider.
