ProfitFuel™ — Integrated Margin Services.

and recover margin points you didn’t know you were losing.
Your competitors aren’t smarter. They’re just filing the paperwork. Nobody has shown you the full map — until now.
Cash back on innovation you already paid for. Your competitors are claiming it. You’re not.
1–3 margin points back to your P&L
Money your state set aside for businesses like yours. Nobody told you it was there.
1–4 margin points you’re not capturing
The government pays for our engagement. You keep 100% of what we recover.
Your project cost drops to $0
Money you already spent that you can get back. Every dollar recovered goes straight to the bottom line.
3–8 margin points retroactive
You’re paying duties your competitors aren’t. One audit levels the field.
2–6 margin points per shipment
Your building qualifies. Your CPA probably never mentioned it.
1–3 margin points on your real estate
Your legal structure is costing you margin every quarter. The right entity recovers it permanently.
2–5 margin points — structural, not temporary
Duties you’re paying right now that you don’t have to. Most importers never apply.
1–4 margin points on every import
Every qualifying hire puts cash back in your pocket. You’re already hiring — you’re just not filing.
0.5–2 margin points on workforce cost
Your capital gains tax can be deferred, reduced, or eliminated entirely. The clock is ticking.
3–10 margin points on capital gains
The city will finance your project with future tax revenue. You build now. The tax base pays later.

2–5 margin points — Year 1
It’s your money. You and your team worked hard to make it. Let us help you keep more of what is yours.
Five steps. One conversation. Zero risk.
| Step | What Happens | Your Effort |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Deposition™ | You answer 12 questions — by voice, text, or file upload. Takes 20 minutes. | 20 min |
| 2. Prosecution | We prosecute root causes: financial synthesis, entity audit, pricing analysis, vulnerability scan. | None — we do the work |
| 3. Sovereign Capital Dossier™ | Every federal, state, and municipal program you qualify for. Ranked by margin impact. Dollar amounts calculated. | None — delivered to you |
| 4. Scope & Fee | Clear findings, recommendations, and fee structure. 35% of incentives collected — you pay nothing unless we find money. TAAF may cover the entire fee. | Review & decide |
| 5. Your IMS Agent™ Goes to Work | Your dedicated agent monitors everything — tariffs, incentives, entity structure, pricing. Monthly reports show exactly what was recovered. New regulation hits? New opportunity surfaces? We handle it. No new contract. No extra scope. You have a private intelligence service. | You run your business |
“How do you calculate ROI on free money? You don’t. You just take it.”
Representative scenarios based on actual engagement profiles. Results vary by company.
| Sector | Revenue | Project Cost | Recovered | Margin ROI™ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medical Device Importer | $1.5M | $0 (TAAF-funded) | $892K | ∞ |
| Industrial Manufacturer | $8M | $25K | $325K | 13x |
| Commercial Property Owner | $2.4M NOI | $25K | $500K | 20x |
| Food Distributor (Importer) | $12M | $0 (TAAF-funded) | $560K | ∞ |
| Technology Company | $4M | $25K | $305K | 12x |
Margin ROI™ = (Capital Recovered × Annual Revenue Impact) ÷ Engagement Cost. TAAF-funded engagements = client cost $0 = infinite ROI.
You’ve been paying too much, recovering too little, and nobody has shown you the full picture. That ends today.
Your email subject: “I Want to See What We’re Owed.” Your body: “I am done leaving money on the table.” We respond within 24 hours with a custom finding for your business. No cost. No obligation.
| What We Find | What It’s Costing You | What We Recover |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong HTS classification | 25% duty on imports that should be 0% | Reclassify + recover 5 years of overpayments |
| No TAAF application filed | $150K in free consulting sitting unclaimed | File petition — government pays your consulting fees |
| No separate import entity | Blended tax rate bleeding 2+ margin points | Restructure — recover margin points immediately |
| R&D tax credits never claimed | 90% of companies your size miss this | File amended returns — 3 years of credits recovered |
| No Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) activation | Paying duties on goods re-exported or destroyed | Activate FTZ — duty deferral, reduction, or elimination |
| State incentives never pursued | 50–70% of available state money goes unclaimed | Identify + apply — grants, abatements, training funds |
A prosecution-grade dossier of every federal, state, and municipal program your business qualifies for — ranked by margin impact, with dollar amounts calculated and application roadmaps included.
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification review. Section 301/232 exposure quantified. Duty overpayment identified and recovery path mapped.
Under 19 U.S.C. §1514, overpaid duties can be recovered up to 5 years back. Post Summary Correction (PSC) filed with Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Could be six or seven figures.
R&D Tax Credits (IRC §41). TAAF consulting reimbursement. Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) activation. CHIPS Act. State grants, abatements, and training funds — matched to your operations.
Is your business structured to minimize tax exposure? Do you need a separate import entity? Best state registration analysis. The structure IS the strategy.
Your Certified Public Accountant (CPA) does not audit your tariff codes. Your broker does not chase exclusions. Your attorney waits for you to call. Nobody scans all federal, state, and municipal programs in one pass. That is what we do. One dossier. Every dollar. Ranked by Margin ROI™.
Every dollar paid in avoidable tariffs is a dollar subtracted from your operating margin. We prosecute tariff exposure with forensic precision — reclassification, exclusion, recovery, and incentive capture.
Most importers inherit HTS codes from suppliers or brokers who default to the path of least resistance — not the path of least duty. We audit every line item against the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) Harmonized Tariff Schedule to identify defensible reclassifications that reduce or eliminate duty exposure. One digit can mean the difference between 25% and 0%.
Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods currently range from 7.5% to 25%. Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs add further burden. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) maintains active exclusion processes. We prepare and prosecute exclusion petitions — product-specific, use-case specific — to remove or reduce punitive duties on qualifying imports.
United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) allows retroactive duty recovery through Post Summary Corrections (PSC) and formal protests under 19 USC §1514 — with a statutory window of up to 5 years. If you have been overpaying duties due to misclassification, you may be entitled to substantial refunds on duties already paid. We quantify the exposure and prosecute the recovery.
5 YearsStatutory lookback window for duty recovery under 19 USC §1514
Beyond tariff reduction, our Intelligence Monetization Strategy (IMS) Agent™ framework identifies non-repayable federal and state funds — grants, tax credits, and incentive programs — that offset operational costs. This includes the CHIPS and Science Act, Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit, state reshoring incentives, and Build America Buy America (BABA) compliance benefits.
Tariffs are not a cost of doing business. They are a variable that can be engineered. Every import classification is a decision. Every exclusion filing is a legal argument. Every dollar recovered from overpaid duties is margin restored. ProfitFuel™ Capital does not accept the tariff schedule as given — we prosecute it.
Why most importers overpay — and never know it.
Your Certified Public Accountant (CPA) stays your CPA. Your Customs Broker stays your Customs Broker. Your Trade Attorney stays your Trade Attorney. Your Freight Forwarder stays your Freight Forwarder. We are the missing layer above all of them — the strategic intelligence directive that connects their independent work into a single, unified tariff reduction and recovery mission that none of them are incentivized or positioned to execute alone.
Most importers rely on a fragmented team of professionals — each operating independently, each billing for their lane, and none of them incentivized to see the full picture.
Each professional does their job. None of them do yours. The result: tariff overpayment compounds year over year, exclusion opportunities expire unfiled, and recoverable duties sit unclaimed inside a 5-year statutory window that is closing every day.
ProfitFuel™ Capital operates as your Counter-Tariff Consultant — the single integrating layer that sits above your existing advisors with one directive: reduce what you pay and recover what you have overpaid.
We bring the right directive and the right motive to uncover the most effective and efficient pathways — then we design the recovery strategy and coordinate your existing team to execute it. No one gets replaced. Everyone gets directed.
Three ways to engage. All of them protect you.
Our first solution is delivered for a donation to ProSeeds FOR LIFE Foundation™. You decide the value. Tax-deductible. Zero obligation.
We take 35% of incentives collected. If we find nothing, you pay nothing. One agent scanning everything vs. five specialists at 20% each — you save money AND get better coverage.
If we cannot solve your root cause to a reasonable value, we refund your investment minus a base fee. Every engagement is backed.
The Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) program reimburses up to $150,000 in consulting fees for import-impacted businesses. If you import goods, there is a strong chance the federal government will pay for this engagement. Your cost: $0. Your recovery: six figures. Your Margin ROI™: infinite.
If your business imports, manufactures, or operates domestically — you have unclaimed capital. We find it.

Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Troy DanDurand is the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ProfitFuel™ Capital and the architect of Counter-Tariff Intelligence™ — a forensic methodology that prosecutes tariff exposure, recovers overpaid duties, and captures federal and state incentives that fragmented advisory teams are not built to find.
His career spans strategic consulting, capital deployment, and vertical-specific intelligence across industries where the difference between profit and loss is buried in regulations, classifications, and government programs that most businesses never access. He does not sell products. He builds intelligence architectures that produce measurable financial outcomes — then delivers them as Fortune 50-grade dossiers his clients can execute immediately.
Troy created the IMS Agent™ (Intelligence Monetization Strategy) framework — a dual-use intelligence engine that scans 100% of available federal, state, and local government programs applicable to any business or property acquisition. He created the Intelligence Brief Dossier™ as a one-off intelligence product that gives any Chief Executive Officer (CEO) total clarity on their tariff exposure, recovery pathways, and incentive eligibility — without a retainer, without a committee, and without leaving money on the table.
He identified The Silo Problem™ — the structural failure where Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), customs brokers, trade attorneys, and freight forwarders each operate independently, each billing for their lane, and none of them incentivized to see the full picture. ProfitFuel™ Capital exists as the missing intelligence layer above all of them — with the right directive and the right motive to coordinate recovery.
