What Is Duty Drawback — and Why Does It Matter?

Under 19 U.S.C. § 1313, importers, manufacturers, and exporters can recover up to 99% of duties, taxes, and fees paid on imported merchandise that is subsequently exported or destroyed.

Drawback is one of the largest legal duty-recovery programs in the United States — yet most companies leave millions unclaimed every year simply because the paperwork is complex and the deadlines are strict.

CBCC's Drawback Filing System eliminates that barrier. Our software guides you through every record, every calculation saving you time and money.

U.S. companies forfeit an estimated $1 billion+ in unclaimed drawback refunds each year. Is your company one of them?
