Net to you: Your amount after the firm's typical fee, before CBP's interest. Where a firm's fee changes with claim size, its rate for your amount may differ; see its stated fee. Firms that publish no single rate show “Unknown - not yet confirmed” — ask them, or use the calculator with a quoted rate.

- Fee model: How the firm charges for a recovery engagement. — checked from website or phone call or document; expires after 90 days.
- Stated fee: The rate or range the firm states, e.g. 15–25% of recovered duties, or cents on the dollar for a purchase. — checked from website or phone call or document; expires after 90 days.
- Typical fee %: One number per firm, used for the 'Net to you' estimate: the rate the firm confirmed; for fees in tiers by claim size, the tier the firm states for a $250,000 claim; otherwise the midpoint of the stated range. Blank if the firm does not charge a percentage, or if its own page states rates that conflict. — checked from website or phone call or document; expires after 90 days.
- Minimum claim: Smallest refund claim (duties paid) the firm takes on. — checked from website or phone call or document; expires after 90 days.

- Files in CAPE directly: CBP accepts CAPE declarations only from the importer of record or the licensed broker that filed the entries. 'Yes' means the firm can submit for entries it filed; 'No' means it prepares the claim for your broker or your own ACE account. — checked from registry or website or phone call; expires after 120 days.
