Drawback

A duty drawback is a refund by CBP of the duties, taxes, or fees paid on imported goods, which were imposed upon importation. More broadly, a drawback also includes the refund or remission of other excise taxes pursuant to other provisions of law. CBP's duty drawback scheme under the Customs Act of 1962 allows exporters to receive a refund on customs duties they paid on imported products that are then used or incorporated into other products for export or remain unused until importation.

CBP Moves Drawback Operations from Ports to Centers
August 16, 2021 |Customs

The Centers of Excellence and Expertise, rather than the ports of entry, will be home to the drawback program and specialists, CBP said Aug. 13. Effective Aug. 15, “the four drawback offices will be managed out of five Centers and each Center will manage two industries,” the agency said. The change won't result in changes “to the processing of claims, transmission of claims, and submission of ruling and privilege application requests,” it said. CBP previously said it was looking to make the change by the end of September (see 2105050011).

Mexico and Canada emphasized how the COVID-19 pandemic has proven the need for interlinked supply chains, but U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai emphasized supply chains' downside as she, Mexico's economy minister and Canada's trade minister sat down to the first Free Trade Commission meeting of the USMCA. Tai said, "Not only have we discovered the fragility of our supply chains, but we have just begun to appreciate the degree to which they run counter to our collective goals of ensuring that workers within North America, and outside it, are paid a fair wage, in a safe workplace."
