Does Tariffloop replace my freight forwarder or broker?

No. Tariffloop does not move freight or file entries. It works alongside whoever ships and clears your goods — including Flexport — adding the classification, screening, monitoring, and duty-recovery layer that forwarders are not built to provide.

Can Tariffloop find duty refunds on entries Flexport filed?

Yes. Tariffloop audits the entries filed on your behalf regardless of who filed them, identifies misclassifications and overpayments, and drafts the Post-Summary Correction or drawback claim — independent of your forwarder.

Why use Tariffloop if Flexport already handles customs?

A brokerage’s job is to clear your goods quickly and correctly at entry — not to continuously re-audit five years of entries for refunds, screen every supplier against forced-labor lists, or benchmark its own performance. Tariffloop is independent and incentive-aligned to find what a brokerage workflow isn’t designed to surface.

Comparison

Tariffloop vs. Flexport

Q: Is Tariffloop an alternative to Flexport?

Not directly — they do different things. Flexport is a freight forwarder and customs brokerage that moves and clears your shipments. Tariffloop is an independent compliance agent that audits your entries, screens suppliers, monitors tariffs, and recovers overpaid duty. Most importers use a forwarder and a compliance layer together.

Flexport is a freight forwarder and customs brokerage. Tariffloop is an independent compliance agent that audits entries and recovers duty no matter who ships or clears your goods — it works alongside Flexport, not instead of it.

When to use which

Use Flexport (or another forwarder/broker) to book freight and file your customs entries.
