ABOUT

Recovery work. Not advisory work.

The distinction matters.

Variance Recovery exists because the systems designed to collect duties, tariffs, and taxes are not designed to return them. Most businesses overpay. Few recover it — not because the money is not there, but because identifying, documenting, and filing for it requires focused expertise that most accounting and brokerage relationships do not provide.

We review your customs records, entry history, and refund eligibility for recoverable overpayments. We document the claim. We file for recovery. We charge a percentage of what we actually recover — nothing if we find nothing.

This is not advisory work. It is recovery work. The distinction matters.

HOW WE WORK

Three things that do not change.

Fee alignment

We are paid when you are paid. A percentage of recovery received. Nothing before that point.

Evidence only

Every claim is built from documented records. Not estimates. Not opinions. Evidence that stands up to CBP, CBSA, or CRA review.

Clear terms

The fee percentage, scope, and engagement terms are stated in writing before any work begins.

WHAT WE COVER

Recovery categories we work in.

IEEPA Tariff Refunds

Reciprocal tariffs ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. CBP CAPE portal filings for eligible importers.

Customs Duty Recovery

Misclassification, drawback eligibility, unliquidated entries, and valuation errors across US and Canadian import history.

Broader Recovery

SR&ED credits, provincial incentives, and export drawback where applicable.

Variance does not guarantee recovery outcomes. Eligibility and refund amounts depend on documentation, entry history, applicable regulations, and filing deadlines. Variance is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Recovery services are contingent on confirmed refunds received.
