U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a detailed memorandum regarding the drawback changes that were enacted by the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-429).
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.
