Strategic Partnerships

Your strategic partner in maximizing duty recovery for your business.

Duty Drawback explained


Duty drawback is a federal program established under the U.S. Tariff Act of 1789 and has been an integral part of U.S. customs law for more than 230 years. The program allows for the recovery of up to 99% of previously paid import duties, excise taxes, and certain fees when imported goods are subsequently exported or destroyed under customs supervision.

Despite the significant financial benefits it offers, duty drawback remains underutilized by most companies. 
In practice, many companies face an imbalance between their import and export volumes, which significantly limits their ability to maximize duty recovery. Contributing factors include a highly complex regulatory framework, stringent compliance requirements, and the fact that direct access to the program is generally not available without an authorized intermediary.

This is precisely where our expertise lies. Through specialized knowledge and strategic partnerships, we enable companies to recover duties that would otherwise remain inaccessible to them. We manage the entire process, from compliance analysis and documentation to the filing and administration of drawback claims, ensuring maximum recovery with minimal operational burden for our clients.
