FAQ
01
Can chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers claim drawback?
Yes. Duties paid on imported raw materials, intermediates, and active ingredients consumed in the manufacture of exported products are recoverable under manufacturing drawback, often up to 99% of duties and fees.
02
How does Pax handle substitution across grades and formulations?
Pax models substitution across HTS-equivalent grades, lots, and formulations, evaluating every eligible combination to select the provision that maximizes recovery while remaining compliant.
03
Can Pax produce audit-ready reporting across multiple facilities?
Yes. Pax consolidates claims and supporting documentation across every plant and legal entity into a single audit-ready program, with each claim traceable to its source records and ACE data.
04
How does Pax keep substitution claims defensible under audit?
Every methodology decision — FIFO, weighted average, or statistical allocation — is documented automatically and tied to source batch and entry records, so each substitution claim is fully reconstructable and ACE-ready if CBP reviews it.
