💰 Duty Recovery Program

You Could Recover Up to 99% of theImport Duties You've Paid

Most companies that qualify for duty drawback never claim it. An estimated $15 billion in refunds goes unclaimed every year — simply because the process is complex and most importers don't know they're eligible.

If you import goods and later export them, use them to make exported products, or destroy unsold inventory, the U.S. government may owe you a refund.

Eligibility

Do You Qualify for Duty Drawback?

Duty drawback is a 200-year-old federal program that refunds duties, taxes, and fees you paid on imported goods — when those goods leave U.S. commerce. You may be eligible if your company:

  • Import goods and later re-export them, unused
  • Import materials or components used to manufacture products that are exported
  • Destroy unsold, defective, or returned imported inventory
  • Import and export goods classified under the same product category (substitution)

You can typically claim refunds on imports going back up to five years — which can mean a substantial one-time recovery, plus ongoing savings.
