claw back tariffs improve complex duty management
The challenges of shifting, complex, component-based tariffs –– including Section 232 –– caused a major manufacturer to miscalculate and unknowingly overpay and underpay duties. With Altana, the manufacturer completed a post-entry duty audit and identified millions of dollars of refunds. Now, with AI-powered trade compliance workflows, the manufacturer has slashed the amount of time necessary to determine origin, calculate duties, classify products, validate material composition, and more –– enabling accurate trade and tariff calculation before products reach the border to avoid future overpayment and underpayment and achieve consistent landed costs.
