Duty Recovery Programs

Lowering Your Landed Costs with Proven Results

Dominion's non-intrusive, full-circle approach has recovered millions of dollars in overpaid duties on behalf of importers who have paid duties to Canada , the United States and other Customs Administrations across the globe.

A 360 Degree View

We are often asked how we can use the term ‘full circle approach’ when recovering overpaid duties – and it’s a question we love to answer. 

At Dominion, we don’t just analyse your areas of duty payment against the World Customs Organization’s decisions and direction, but against the decisions from multiple Customs Administrations across the globe.  In many cases we will also incorporate results from independently testing your products and dissecting the Tariff Classifications into developing opportunities in duty recovery.  This diligence is what allows us to create comprehensive ruling packages for a Customs Administration to review with an increased chance of rendering a positive decision in your favour.  

While our Duty Recovery Programs take a conservative approach, we will uncover duty recovery opportunities that put money back into your bottom line and lower your duty rates going forward.  This conservative approach is paramount to protect the integrity of your brand well after the duty recoveries are paid by the government.

Reporting and Visibility

Our interactive reporting provides you with the visibility and transparency to monitor our progress in real time and enables you to ask any questions you wish throughout the entire duty recovery process.

Paying duties into multiple countries? Not a problem.  You will receive a separate customized report for each country and customs administration included in your Duty Recovery Program.  

From analyzing your trade data to obtaining final government approval, our reporting is fully customized to your requirements and ensures the legislative time limits for filing duty recoveries are protected.

Risk Free, Self Funded Program

Dominion's Duty Recovery Program is risk free and completely self-funded.  We invest the time and resources that goes into developing your opportunities, examining your products, preparing your ruling submissions and filing your refund submissions. 

In the end, we will only invoice you if we are successful in obtaining government approval for your duty recoveries. 

Simply put – we only get paid if you get your money back from the government.
