At Maple Customs Brokerage LLC, our Duty Drawback Services help businesses recover eligible customs duties, taxes, and fees paid on imported goods that are later exported or destroyed. Many companies are unaware they may be entitled to significant refunds under duty drawback programs.
Our specialists guide you through the complex regulatory process to maximize refunds while ensuring full compliance with customs authorities.
What Is Duty Drawback?
Duty drawback is a government program that allows importers to recover up to 99% of duties and certain taxes paid on imported goods when:
- The goods are exported in the same condition
- The goods are manufactured into new products and then exported
- The goods are destroyed under customs supervision
In the United States, drawback claims are administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
This program can significantly reduce your overall landed costs and improve cash flow.
