Instead of charging consulting fees
for various functions in the process (the most common additional fees being those that cover the Customs application process as well as audit support costs) in
addition to percentage of the recovery, Alliance International
operates primarily on a contingency fee (a percentage of the total recoveries collected
by the client). The contingency fee compensates Alliance for all the services described herein including implementation, claim filing,
program management, and on-site audit representation, if required. We
will not bill for services until our client receives
its refund.
In some instances, we will bill for out-of-pocket travel required to administer the program. For example, if Alliance personnel needs
to copy import documents on-site at a third party import vendor's facility, we would request prior written approval for the travel
expenses. On-site audit support would also require reimbursement of travel expenses.
The average contingency fee ranges from 10% to 20% depending on the recovery level and resources required. The actual fee could
slide higher or lower based upon these factors. Following the completion of the program assessment process, Alliance will submit a specificfee proposal for consideration.
