How Duty Drawback Works

jlamadeleine • February 29, 2016

Are you leaving money on the table?

Hi, my name is Jill LaMadeleine and I work as a licensed Customs broker with International Tariff Management. ITM has been in business for 30 years and during that time we have generated over 50 million dollars in savings for our clients. We specialize in duty drawback, classification reviews and free trade agreements. If you are an importer and/or an exporter, you can directly benefit from the services that we provide. Let me show you how!
Duty drawback is a law that was put on the books in 1789. It was initiated to encourage exporting from the United States as well as to support manufacturing in the U.S.
To understand drawback simply, if you import something into the US, pay a duty or tax on it and export it as is, or as part of a US manufactured product, you can recoup 99% of the duty paid on the import upon the export. Today, only about 25% of eligible duty is being recovered from the US government. That is $500 million dollars of a potential $2 billion dollars. This means there is $1.5 billion dollars still available and we would like to help you claim your portion back.
You need not be the direct importer or the direct exporter of a product in order to claim duty drawback. We work on drawback programs with many domestic manufacturers and resellers of imported product. ITM provides all of the necessary guidance and support required to establish and manage your duty drawback program.
Y our company might be leaving money on the table that can drop to the bottom line. Let us review your circumstances to see if any part of that $1.5 billion dollars is yours.

On February 1, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order (EO) that imposes an additional 10% ad valorem tariff on most imports from China, which includes products of Hong Kong. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) quickly followed up with important guidance regarding these changes, particularly impacting the trade community's handling of de minimis shipments from China. Effective February 4, 2025, de minimis shipments from China will no longer be eligible for the administrative exemption from duty under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C), and will be subject to the new 10% tariffs.  Here's everything you need to know about the changes:

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term, and with that came big promises regarding trade policy. But a significant shift came just days later, on January 21, when Trump announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada—set to go into effect on February 1, 2025. This move represents a dramatic change in North American trade relations and could have wide-reaching effects on American consumers. At a signing ceremony in the Oval Office, Trump revealed that his administration would roll out tariffs on goods from two of the U.S.'s largest trading partners, Mexico and Canada. However, this new tariff decision doesn’t fully align with the aggressive trade strategy Trump promised during his campaign. The sweeping tariffs Trump pledged on his first day in office, including a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada, have yet to materialize. His executive action, while still outlining a broad trade policy overhaul, serves more as a placeholder for a more extensive, long-term plan.
US Trade Agreement with Taiwan
By Jack LaMadeleine January 9, 2025
Although the United States and Taiwan (officially known as the Republic of China) do not maintain formal diplomatic relations, the two countries share strong cooperation in several areas, including trade. Trade discussions are managed through the American Institute in Taiwan and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the U.S., under an arrangement called the U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade. This framework allows both nations to address trade and investment issues, while working toward mutual priorities over time.

As of January 1, 2025, new tariff rates on certain Chinese imports will go into effect, as part of the ongoing Section 301 investigation into China's trade practices, particularly regarding technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation. The United States Trade Representative (USTR) has announced additional tariff increases under the Section 301 Four Year Review, which impacts a range of products, including certain tungsten products, solar wafers, and polysilicon. If you're involved in importing these products or handling customs filings, it’s crucial to understand the latest developments and the steps required to comply with the updated regulations.
