Professional Customs/International Trade Consulting 
In addition to speeding your shipments through Customs, our qualified customs professionals provide you with comprehensive consulting, duty recovery and international trade advisory services to help minimize your duty outlays, maximize refunds and ensure compliance with all applicable government statutes and regulations.

Duty Recovery Programs
We recognize that expert consulting and comprehensive trade advisory services can be critical to the success and overall profitability of your import/export activities. That’s why our professional consultants and technical specialists are relentless in their pursuit of every available opportunity to minimize duty liabilities and maximize refunds, drawbacks and exemptions on your behalf. 
Duty Recovery When recovery opportunities are identified, we act quickly to initiate the refund process, protecting your crucial time limits and maximizing claimable amounts. Once in receipt of all necessary supporting documentation, we will prepare your claims, perform all necessary calculations and monitor their status through Customs until your refund cheque is issued. 

Our duty recovery programs are a highly cost-effective way of recovering potentially substantial funds that might otherwise be lost to your business. 


Compliance Verification & Dispute Resolution
Through our on-site audit and pre-review verification programs, we can help you to streamline your internal processes, ensuring that your business practices meet the increasingly stringent compliance standards of both Canadian and U.S. Customs authorities, or advantageously position your company so that you can take full advantage of free trade and other tariff preference programs. 
In the event of a trade dispute affecting your company,  our consultants can provide invaluable support, taking the necessary steps to protect your interests and represent your concerns throughout the entire appeal process with the objective of achieving a beneficial resolution on your behalf.
