Duty drawback servicesforimporters and exporters
If your company imports goods into the U.S. and later exports—or destroys—them under U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) guidelines, you likely qualify for a powerful trade program called duty drawback.
It allows you to recover up to 99% of the duties, taxes, and fees paid on imported goods that don't stay in the U.S. market.

Our duty drawback platform for exporters automatically matches your import, export, and destruction data, optimizes every claim, and files directly with CBP on your behalf.
You may qualify for:
Unused Merchandise Drawback
For goods that are exported or destroyed in the same condition as imported.
Substitution Drawback
For goods that are exported or destroyed after being replaced with commercially interchangeable substitutes.
Retail & eCommerce Drawback
For companies selling or shipping internationally across marketplaces and platforms.
Even if you're not currently filing for duty drawback, you can reclaim up to five years of past duties. And destruction counts too—if you've disposed of imported inventory (under the proper CBP protocols), you may be leaving serious money on the table.
