Duty Drawback on Re-Exported Goods#
Duty drawback lets you claim back up to 99% of duties, taxes, and fees paid on imported goods that are subsequently exported. Three types: unused merchandise (re-export within 5 years), manufacturing (imported components used in exported products), and rejected merchandise (returned defective goods).
Filing Drawback Claims Efficiently#
Drawback claims require matching import entries to export entries. Use drawback software to automate matching — manual tracking becomes impossible above 100 transactions. File claims within 5 years of import and 3 years of export. The average claim processing time is 6-12 months.
If you import and domestically source the same commodity, substitution drawback lets you claim duty refunds on domestic goods exported, matched against duties paid on imports.
Substitution Drawback for Fungible Goods#
If you import and domestically source the same commodity, substitution drawback lets you claim duty refunds on domestic goods exported, matched against duties paid on imports. The goods must be commercially interchangeable. This is particularly valuable for chemicals, metals, and agricultural products.
