Problem
Importers and trade intermediaries often leave significant duty refunds on the table because identifying eligible entries requires consolidating data from multiple customs systems, manually auditing classifications, and navigating a lengthy, paperwork‑heavy filing process. The complexity and time required lead many companies to abandon claims altogether.
Solution
Caspian provides an AI‑driven platform that continuously audits a company’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) data to pinpoint misclassifications, over‑valuations, and other refund opportunities. The system automatically matches line items to recoverable duty and prepares the appropriate Post Summary Corrections (PSC) or protest filings. Licensed customs brokers validate and submit the claims directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection on the user’s behalf. Users can optionally receive advance funding of up to 80 % of the expected refund, reducing cash‑flow delays. The platform delivers audit‑ready documentation, real‑time monitoring, and a unified dashboard for compliance teams, all without requiring data reformatting or IT tickets.
Target Audience
Primary customers are U.S. importers, freight forwarders, and customs brokers who manage large volumes of entry data and need to maximize duty recoveries while maintaining compliance.
