Built for Companies That Move Goods Across Borders

If you pay import duty and some of those goods later leave the country, a drawback program may apply.

Importers that export
You import inventory and later ship some of it to customers or partners in another country.
Ecommerce and marketplace brands
You sell through your own store, Amazon, Walmart or other marketplaces to buyers abroad.
Cross-border returns
You handle returns, defective goods or wrong shipments that are sent back or destroyed.
U.S. and Canadian operations
You have stock, warehouses or customers on both sides of the border.
Manufacturers
You import materials or components and export what you make.
Meaningful duty spend
Duty is a real line on your P&L, and tariffs have made it bigger.

Why Companies Leave Drawback Unclaimed

Drawback is rarely missed because a company does not qualify. It is missed because nobody owns it.

No one owns it
Finance, operations and logistics each hold part of the picture. Drawback falls between them.
Your broker does not file it
Most customs brokers clear your imports. Few actively run drawback for their clients.
The data is scattered
Import entries, sales, shipments and returns sit in different systems that nobody has connected.
Deadlines pass quietly
Every month without a claim, older imports age out of the eligible window for good.
One-off refunds stop
A single historical claim recovers the past, then the same money starts piling up again.
Building a team is costly
Hiring and training in-house drawback staff rarely makes sense for a growing company.

The Program

Four stages. One program. You do not commit to a big build before you know the opportunity exists.

1

Opportunity Assessment

We review your imports, exports, international shipments, returns and available records. We confirm whether drawback applies, which scenarios fit, the historical opportunity, the documentation needed and whether an ongoing program makes sense.

2

Program Build

We create your Drawback Program Blueprint: eligible transactions, required records, matching method, responsibilities, filing frequency, workflows and specialist involvement.

3

Historical Recovery

We review the available historical period and pursue every eligible drawback claim. Up to 5 years in the U.S. and about 4 in Canada.

4

Ongoing Program

We run a recurring process so eligible duties keep getting identified and claimed as your business keeps importing and exporting.

Your Part Is Small and Clearly Defined

Most of these records already exist with your broker, carriers or sales platform. We can often request them directly.

  • Import entry records showing duty paid
  • Commercial invoices with product detail
  • Export, sales or shipment reports
  • Return and destruction records, if any
  • Introductions to your broker or forwarder
  • A short walkthrough of how your operation works

Historical Recovery Plus Future Recovery

The program captures what you are owed today and keeps capturing it.

Historical recovery
We go back through the eligible lookback period and claim what was missed.
Ongoing claims
New eligible activity is collected and claimed on a set schedule, so nothing ages out.
Specialist coordination
Licensed drawback specialists prepare and file. We manage them, the data and any customs follow-up.
Refund tracking
You get clear updates on what was filed, what is pending and what has been paid.
Risk reversal

No successful recovery, no success fee.

The first stage confirms whether there is a commercially viable opportunity. If there is not, we tell you and you owe nothing.
