Getting companies refunds on tariffs & duties
Forge helps companies recover tariffs and duties paid on imported goods that are later exported or scrapped by automating a process called duty drawback. Billions of dollars of eligible refunds go unclaimed every year. We take full ownership of the process from organizing data to filing claims so businesses can unlock this extra revenue with minimal effort.
Forge helps businesses recover refunds on tariffs and duties paid on imports through duty drawback, offering a take-no-pay-upfront model and automated handling of refund claims. It emphasizes high refund potential and ongoing claims with expert assistance.
Forge collects import and export documents, automates the paper trail, files refund claims on behalf of the client, and provides an audit trail. The service operates on a load-and-file model where refunds are pursued with a dedicated team and propriety software, with refunds received directly into the client's bank account and ongoing, scheduled drawback filings for continuous refunds. The pricing is contingent on payment only when refunds are received, with no upfront costs.
Who it’s for: Businesses of all sizes that pay import tariffs and duties and are eligible for duty drawback refunds.
