The Duty Drawback Process
Duty drawback is a refund on import duties, fees, and taxes that you may be able to claim when you export. The process of claiming those duties can be complicated but the good news is – you don’t have to do it yourself. Learn about the duty drawback process with STTAS and how our experts can help you get the refunds you deserve.
The Life Cycle Of A Claim
Import and export data is extracted and entered into STTAS’ proprietary software in which a risk assessment and initial validation is performed.
After validation, the optimal drawback type and ideal method is analyzed to maximize drawback recovery.
Once the claim analysis is complete, STTAS’ system creates, executes, verifies and finalizes the claim. Each claim undergoes two levels of quality review before filing.
Once filed, STTAS monitors progress and responds to CBP inquiries.
STTAS follows up with CBP to ensure timely accelerated payment and liquidation of drawback claims.
