Ocean Freight Refunds Inc. (OFR) provides the industry's only dedicated freight audit for clients who ship cargo via ocean freight. OFR's service focuses on a review of historic ocean freight invoices and related charges. Rather than rely on the actual ocean freight service providers to audit themselves, OFR offers a neutral ocean freight refund review that provides cash payments of historic refunds back to the cargo owner. Refunds are paid to our clients directly from the service providers noted above. The period eligible for refunds is three years from the original date of the invoice.

Utilizing proprietary technology, we offer our services on a contingency only basis. Our philosophy is that a client should never pay us if we fail to identify or produce a refund. If your company is not paid a refund, our service is free of charge.


Our freight audit looks at all applicable ocean freight rate and invoice hierarchy:  your ocean carrier, customs house broker, 3PL and freight payment processor. Please see our freight audit process to find out why its important to look further than just  the ocean freight service provider for refunds.

Prospective clients who have utilized other freight audit services or who audit internally should undertake a secondary review by OFR. We urge clients who have purchased freight audit software from any logistics vendor to allow us the opportunity to identify the large dollar value of refunds the software has not captured.

We make money for our clients. We invite you to contact us today for more information.
