OUR PROCESS

From first review to recovered funds.

We tell you whether a recovery opportunity exists within 48 hours. If it does, we handle everything — documentation, filing, and follow-through. You pay only when the money arrives.

01

Assessment

We review your import records, entry summaries, and duty history within 48 hours. We tell you what we find — the estimated recovery range and applicable filing deadlines. No commitment required.

02

Eligibility

We establish whether a documented recovery exists, the estimated amount, and any time-sensitive filing windows. We are specific — a clear answer based on your records.

03

Documentation

We prepare all claim documentation required for submission — entry summaries, classification records, duty payment history, and supporting evidence.

04

Recovery

The claim is filed with CBP, CBSA, or CRA as applicable. We track the process and confirm when the refund is issued. Our fee — a percentage of confirmed recovery — is invoiced at that point.

Our fee is a percentage of the recovery actually received. If nothing is recovered, nothing is owed. The exact percentage is stated in the engagement letter before any work begins.

Start with a free 48-hour review.

No commitment. No upfront cost. We tell you what we find.

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.
