Duties, taxes and landed cost
Automating Duties & Tax Invoice: From Invoice Intake to Recovery
Connect invoice intake, customs-entry review, and landed-cost analysis.
For corporations with significant import activity, import duties and taxes paid can represent a substantial part of landed cost. Yet these charges are often paid without a detailed post-audit to confirm whether the correct amount was assessed.
TriangleAudit combines automated invoice intake, customs-entry audit, and landed-cost analysis to help identify overpayments and improve future customs clearance.
Automate & Itemize
Automated invoice intake converts customs broker invoices and supporting documents into structured data, itemizing:
- Import duties and taxes
- Brokerage and disbursement fees
- Customs and government charges
- Other clearance-related costs
This creates visibility from Product → Shipment → Customs Entry → Duties & Taxes → Total Landed Cost.
Audit What Was Paid
TriangleAudit audits customs entries, duties and taxes invoices against key factors including:
HS/HTS Classification | Country of Origin | Customs Value | Duty Rate | Trade Agreements | Exemptions | Taxes | Broker Charges
This helps identify potential classification errors, missed preferential treatment, incorrect assessments, duplicate charges, and other opportunities for correction or recovery.
Understand True Landed Cost
TriangleAudit helps allocate freight, duties, taxes, brokerage, and other import costs to individual products:
Purchase Cost + Freight + Duties + Taxes + Import Charges = True Landed Cost
Corporations gain better product-level cost visibility to support sourcing, procurement, pricing, and profitability decisions.
Recover Today. Prevent Tomorrow.
Using the TriangleAudit Method — Agreed → Delivered → Invoiced, expected customs treatment is benchmarked against the actual customs entry and amount invoiced.
The result is a continuous improvement cycle:
Identify → Validate → Recover → Prevent
TriangleAudit helps corporations recover eligible overpayments, optimize customs clearance, prevent recurring errors, and support review of the appropriate duties and taxes on each import.
TriangleAudit — Audit Every Charge. Understand Every Cost.
