Duty Drawback Program |
| If you export a product which had been
previously imported into the United States, you may be entitled to receive a refund of 99%
of the duty paid when the product was originally imported. This refund is called Duty
Drawback. Duty drawback is not automatic, it is subject to an application process. Applications can be submitted either by the importer of record or by a company that later exports the imported product. If you are exporting there is a very good possibility that your products are entitled to some type of duty drawback. U.S. Customs has stated that millions of dollars each year go unclaimed because the exporters are unaware of their potential for drawback. Global Contact, Inc. will take you through a step by step process to determine the extent to which you are eligible for duty drawback: 1. We will review and analyze your buying and export procedures. 2. We will determine the extent to which you are eligible for duty drawback. 3. We will educate you regarding the duty drawback process. 4. We will implement a duty drawback program which will result in a refund of 99% of duty paid on the imported product. In some cases we can recoup your duty paid on exported products from 3 years ago. |
