How It Works
Connect your ACE data
You or your broker securely export your entry summaries (CF7501), commercial invoices, and supporting documentation from ACE. API integration is available for ongoing monitoring.
Audit runs automatically
Our platform cross-references every entry against the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule, USTR Section 301 exclusion lists, FTA preference databases, and antidumping/countervailing duty orders. Discrepancies and recovery opportunities are flagged.
Findings go to your broker
Broker ActionWe surface all flagged entries with supporting documentation — corrected heading suggestions, recovery calculations, and tariff justification — to your licensed customs broker for review.
Broker files with CBP
Broker ActionYour licensed customs broker determines the correct filing mechanism (Post-Summary Correction, Post-Entry Amendment, Protest, or Drawback) and files with CBP on your behalf. We do not file anything.
CBP Ruling Validation
CBP assessed the independent auditor model and found it permissible under 19 U.S.C. §1641. The ruling confirmed that post-entry compliance auditing, when performed by an entity that does not prepare, file, or submit entries, does not constitute customs business.
CBP assessed the use of AI in tariff classification and established that providing 6-digit HTS heading suggestions for general research is permissible, while 10-digit classification for a specific entry constitutes customs business requiring a licensed broker.

USTR has granted thousands of exclusions. We identify entries where your products may qualify and surface the data to your broker.
USMCA/FTA Origin Opportunities
Goods that qualify for preferential treatment under USMCA or other FTAs where documentation was not claimed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far back can Post-Entry Amendments be filed with CBP?
Under 19 CFR 173, your licensed customs broker has up to 314 days from the date of entry to file a Post-Entry Amendment (PEA) for most corrections. For drawback claims, the window can extend to 5 years. Our platform analyses your entry history to identify all correction opportunities within the applicable timeframes, then surfaces those findings to your broker for filing.
Can you identify Section 301 tariff exclusion opportunities?
Yes. We monitor USTR exclusion lists and identify entries where your products may qualify for Section 301 exclusions—either retroactively or prospectively. We surface the data package to your licensed customs broker or trade attorney, who then determines whether to file for the refund.
What data do I need to provide for a compliance audit?
We need access to your ACE portal data (entry summaries, CF7501s), commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. You can share data via secure upload, SFTP, or direct ACE API integration. Your broker can generate the ACE data export.
Do you file Post-Summary Corrections or Protests with CBP?
No. MyCustomsInfo® is an independent compliance auditor — we do not file anything with CBP. We identify errors and recovery opportunities, then surface those findings with supporting documentation to your licensed customs broker, who determines the correct filing mechanism (PSC, PEA, Protest, or Drawback) and files on your behalf.
