Capital Recovery via TFTEA Substitution Rules

Distributors and electronics manufacturing networks handling trade via Southern California corridors commonly overpay long-term customs overhead. When imported commodities are subsequently exported to international markets or destroyed under CBP oversight, up to 99% of ordinary duties, taxes, and fees are legally recoverable.

Operating out of our Torrance headquarters, AIT TAHIPO LLC eliminates the complexity of matching individual import line items to export bills of lading. We leverage the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act (TFTEA) substitution standards, matching entries based on an 8-digit HTS code alignment rather than rigid physical serial tracing.

Our tech-driven audits look back up to five years from your export date. We build completely compliant verification frameworks, manage the full calculation process, and file your electronic claims through the automated broker interface system.

Unused Merchandise Drawback Recover capital spent on items exported in the exact same condition as imported, bypassing direct serial audits.
Section 301 Inclusions Maximize your recovery volumes by including additional ad valorem Section 301 emergency tariffs in your drawback equations.
Accelerated Payment Privilege We structure bonds and applications to secure refund disbursements within weeks of electronic filing instead of waiting years for liquidation.
