      Billions of dollars (yes, that's billion with a B) in eligible duties are unclaimed every year - Pax AI is helping companies reclaim their money by building the best in class technology.

      Duty drawback is an incredible opportunity for companies who import and export to reclaim money they initially thought was gone forever. The problem is: it's hard to get back. Working with data is hard, and getting it in the right format is even more difficult. But with the increase in tariffs and duties, now is the time for companies to set up their drawback process and automate it.

      What is duty drawback?

      • Duty drawback is a refund program for companies who import goods and subsequently export or destroy these goods.
      • The great thing about duty drawback is that it applies to a wide range of companies:
        • Unused Merchandise Drawback: For goods exported without being used.
        • Manufacturing Drawback: For goods used in manufacturing exported products.
        • Rejected Merchandise Drawback: For defective goods exported or destroyed.

      Are you leaving free money on the table?

      • We love numbers. Here's some:
        • $100 billion. The amount of duties paid annually in the U.S. in 2023.
        • $8 billion. The amount of U.S duty drawback refunds that remain unclaimed in 2023.
        • $3 billion. The amount of duty drawback claimed in the U.S. in 2023.
        • 99%. The percentage of customs duties, taxes, and/or fees that companies can be refunded.
