Duty Drawback is the United States’ oldest trade program in operation, dating back to 1789 when we were just a fledgling democracy determined to make our presence known on the world stage. The program’s intent then, as it is now, is to put American companies on a more level playing field with its international competition by driving out the cost of import tariffs and fees from its exported products.

 

Although conceptionally simple, in practice, the duty drawback program involves a myriad of laws, regulations, and exceptions to practically every rule. In addition, there are typically multiple claiming options and techniques that can produce significantly different recovery results.

That’s where Tradewin comes in.
