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

Evidence-Based Case Studies

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.

Enough Is Enough.

You’ve been paying too much, recovering too little, and nobody has shown you the full picture. That ends today.

Sovereign Capital Dossier™

Your Business Has Money Owed to It.
We Find It.

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.

Tariff Exposure Audit

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification review. Section 301/232 exposure quantified. Duty overpayment identified and recovery path mapped.

5-Year Lookback Recovery

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.

Federal & State Incentive Scan

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.

Entity Structure Analysis

Is your business structured to minimize tax exposure? Do you need a separate import entity? Best state registration analysis. The structure IS the strategy.

One Agent. All Margin. Zero Silos.

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™.

ProfitFuel™ Capital — Tariff Recovery Division

Counter-Tariff Intelligence™

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.

I. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Reclassification

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%.

II. Section 301 & Section 232 Exclusion Filings

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.

III. 5-Year Lookback Recovery

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 Years

Statutory lookback window for duty recovery under 19 USC §1514

IV. Incentive & Grant Capture (IMS Agent™)

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.

The Counter-Tariffism Doctrine

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.

The Silo Problem™

Why most importers overpay — and never know it.

We Do Not Replace Your Key Team Members.

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.

Your Advisors Are Siloed. Your Money Pays the Price.

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.

  • Your Certified Public Accountant (CPA) — files your taxes and tracks expenses, but does not audit your Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes or question the duties you pay. Tariff optimization is outside their scope.
  • Your Customs Broker — clears your shipments and applies HTS codes, but defaults to classifications inherited from suppliers. They are compensated for throughput, not for minimizing your duty exposure.
  • Your Trade Attorney — can file exclusion petitions and protests, but only acts when engaged. They do not proactively audit your import data for savings you do not know exist.
  • Your Freight Forwarder — moves your goods from port to warehouse, but has no visibility into whether you are overpaying at the border before the container even arrives.

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.

The ProfitFuel™ Difference

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.

  • Cross-functional audit across HTS, duties, exclusions, and incentives
  • Single point of accountability for total landed cost optimization
  • Proactive identification — we find what your siloed advisors miss
  • 5-year lookback recovery prosecution on overpaid duties
  • IMS Agent™ incentive and grant matching beyond tariff relief
  • Aligned incentives — we succeed when your costs go down
  • Your existing team stays intact — we add the intelligence layer they lack

Three ways to engage. All of them protect you.

Donation First

Our first solution is delivered for a donation to ProSeeds FOR LIFE Foundation™. You decide the value. Tax-deductible. Zero obligation.

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Strategist. Not a Vendor.

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.
