01 · OVERVIEW

What Duty Drawback gives you

Duty Drawback refunds the customs duties paid on imported materials that are used in the manufacture of exported goods. Most exporters claim the All-Industry Rate published for their product; where that under-compensates, a Brand Rate can be fixed. Claims are made at the shipping-bill level and credited to your account.

WHEN YOU CAN CLAIM

  • Exporting goods made with imported inputs.
  • Declaring the drawback claim on shipping bills.
  • Recovering customs duty on materials.
  • Where the All-Industry Rate applies.
