Duty Drawback
Recover up to 99% of duties paid on re-exported goods.
Duty drawback allows importers to recover up to 99% of customs duties, taxes, and fees paid on imported goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed. Many importers are leaving significant money on the table by not filing drawback claims. We help you identify opportunities and file the documentation to recover what you're owed.
Types of Drawback
The most common types are manufacturing drawback (imported goods used in manufacturing a different exported product), unused merchandise drawback (imported goods exported in the same condition), and rejected merchandise drawback (goods that don't conform to specifications and are returned). Each type has specific documentation and timing requirements.
TFTEA Modernization
The Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act (TFTEA) modernized drawback rules, extending the filing window to 5 years from the date of importation and simplifying substitution criteria. These changes mean more importers than ever qualify for drawback recovery. We help you take advantage of these expanded opportunities.
"If you import goods and then export finished products or unused merchandise, you may be entitled to recover nearly all the duties you paid. We help you file for it."
