Duty drawback is one of the most overlooked ways importers leave money on the table. If you paid duty on goods that are later exported or destroyed, you may be entitled to recover up to 99% of it. The rules are detailed, but the refunds are real, and we help you capture them.

When Drawback Applies

Unused merchandise: imported goods exported in essentially the same condition.
Manufacturing: imported components used to make products that are then exported.
Rejected merchandise: goods that did not conform and were returned or destroyed.

Why Most Importers Miss It

Drawback requires tracing imported duty to specific exports and filing detailed claims, so many businesses simply never pursue it. If you import and export in any volume, the recoverable amounts add up quickly.

We Handle the Claim

We assess whether your trade activity qualifies, organize the documentation linking your imports to your exports, and file the drawback claim so you actually collect the refund.
