How Mirion made first-time drawback filing easy with Pax

The challenge

The 2025 tariff environment hit hardware manufacturers hard. Section 301, Section 122, and IEEPA reciprocal tariffs compounded rapidly, and the cost of imported components became impossible to ignore.

For Mirion Technologies, a global manufacturer of radiation detection and measurement systems, the rising duty burden made recovery programs like drawback a clear priority. But drawback is inherently complex, especially for a first-time filer navigating manufacturing substitution rulings and multi-step supply chains.

The solution

Mirion partnered with Pax to file its first drawback claims. Pax broke the process into clear, step-by-step stages from privilege application through manufacturing ruling to claim submission.

The platform centralized hundreds of entry documents into a single dashboard, replacing what would have otherwise been a sprawl of emails and attachments. Pax's team was directly accessible throughout, with questions answered same-day rather than routed through intermediaries.

The outcome

Mirion has successfully filed drawback claims and is actively expanding the program to include IEEPA tariff recovery.

What began as a single recovery initiative has become an ongoing engagement, with additional claims in progress and a growing foundation of centralized trade data on the Pax platform.
