Important: Some entries cannot be confirmed without all supporting documents. In those cases, DutySniper flags the issue but does not provide a refund estimate.
Understanding the root causes helps importers take a proactive approach to post-entry review.
Customs entries must be filed quickly, often before final transportation costs are known.
Freight forwarders often combine dutiable and non-dutiable charges, making separation difficult without review.
Entry deadlines create situations where best available information must be used, even if incomplete.
Most importers lack dedicated staff to systematically review cleared entries against final invoices.
A simple example illustrating when an entry may warrant review.
Entry Filed with CBP
An entry is filed with an entered value of $118,400.
