UK & EU Duty Recovery

Recover the customs duty you have overpaid, before the three-year window closes.

MyCustomsInfo® audits your UK and EU import declarations against the source evidence, finds the overpaid duty and the errors behind it, and prepares a filing-ready claim. You file it, or your broker does. We work on results.

Every month, recoverable duty expires.

Overpaid duty hides in ordinary declarations. A wrong commodity code. A missed preference or origin claim. A valuation error. A duplicated entry. A relief you were entitled to and never used. Most importers never see it, because nobody audits the entries after they are filed.

There is a deadline on getting it back, and it runs differently in each regime.

UK

HMRC, CDS

You can claim repayment of overpaid duty for up to three years from the date of the customs debt.

EU

Union Customs Code

Article 121 gives you three years from notification of the debt to apply for repayment or remission.

Both run as a rolling window. Every month, the oldest entries pass the limit and the duty on them is gone for good. The longer you wait, the more you lose.

A managed audit, not another login.

You do not learn new software. You send your data and experienced people do the work.

1

We agree terms first

A mutual NDA, a data processing agreement and a recovery engagement, before we touch a single declaration.

2

You send your declaration data

CDS or EU import data, commercial invoices and supporting documents.

3

We audit every entry against six sources of evidence

AI-assisted analysis surfaces overpaid duty, classification errors and tariff exposure across UK CDS, EU UCC and US ACE. A customs practitioner reviews every finding.

4

You see what is recoverable

Inside the MyCustomsInfo® portal — how much and across how many entries. The findings stay in the portal. Nothing is handed out to be forwarded.

5

You file the claim, or your broker does

A C285 repayment claim under CDS or a UCC Article 121 application in the EU. We prepare it and support both.

Compliance boundary

MyCustomsInfo® identifies, reconciles and prepares the claim. The client files it, or the client’s broker or representative files it. MyCustomsInfo® supports both and does not file as the customs declarant. UK and EU: the importer or their representative may file a repayment claim directly — no broker is required.

Other platforms show you the data. We audit the data behind the data.

Most trade tools give you a dashboard and leave the work to you. MyCustomsInfo® is a managed audit. Every finding is checked by a practitioner before it reaches you, across UK, EU and US regimes from one platform. The recovery pays for the platform, so your go-forward compliance funds itself.
