The Declarant · For EU importers
What if you paid
too much customs duty?
Review past declarations for potential overpayments. Understand the evidence behind a finding and what your broker needs to assess the next step.
A potential recovery is a finding to review. Repayment depends on eligibility, evidence and the customs authority’s decision.
Start with money already paid
A focused review
of your import history.
You already have a broker. The question is whether the duty you paid deserves another look.
The Declarant checks declaration data for potential duty overpayments and supporting evidence gaps. Findings give your customs team or broker a starting point for review.
- Filed entries and the data behind them.
- Tariff, origin and preference questions that need review.
- Evidence to collect before pursuing a case.
Your broker or authorised customs team handles filing and amendments. The Declarant does not file declarations or guarantee repayment.
The process
From a declaration
to a reviewed opportunity.
Review the findings
Inspect potential overpayments, sources and missing evidence. Separate plausible opportunities from cases that cannot be supported.
Decide what to pursue
Your broker or customs team reviews the evidence and handles any application. The authority decides whether repayment is due.
Commercial terms
A fee tied
to recovered money.
15%
Standard recovery success fee, calculated on money actually received by the importer.
For SaaS subscribers, the recovery success fee is 10%, plus the subscription charge. Confirm the package, case scope and applicable terms with us before starting.
The free declaration check is an initial screening tool. It is not a repayment decision or a promise that a claim will succeed. Any separate broker work and fees must be agreed.
Beyond recovery
Use what you learn
on the next order.
The wider platform also supports landed-cost calculations, sourcing comparisons and trade-compliance checks. Begin with the problem you have today.
Before you start
A few practical questions.
Who is this for?
EU importers and their finance, procurement or customs teams who want to review duty already paid. A defined import history and an owner for the review make a useful starting point.
Does this replace my customs broker?
No. The Declarant supports the review with findings and evidence. Your broker or authorised customs team assesses and handles filing, amendments and any repayment application.
What should I send first?
Start with a short description of your goods, import countries and approximate declaration volume. We will agree a suitable sample and document-sharing process before you send sensitive files.
Is recovery guaranteed?
No. Eligibility, evidence, applicable deadlines and the authority’s decision determine the outcome. We agree the scope and fee terms before work starts.
