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.

CIT Says Liquidation Injunction Remains in Place in 2006-07 Thai Pipe AD Case
March 29, 2011 by Kelly Sly|Penalties and Courts

On February 14, 2011, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision upholding the calculation methods of the International Trade Administration in a court remand over an antidumping administrative review of circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand for the period March 2006 - February 2007 (the decision upheld the ITA’s accounting for duty drawbacks on imported components, among other issues). Subsequently the parties to the litigation filed motions to proceed with liquidation of the merchandise, indicating no party intended to appeal the matter further. However, the Court of International Trade ruled that it could not modify the injunction against liquidation that is still in place, until the CAFC formally issues its mandate.

CAFC Rules Drawback Adjustments Correct in Thai Carbon Steel Pipes AD Review
February 18, 2011 by Marie Rapport|Penalties and Courts

A remand redetermination of the final results of the March 2006 -- February 2007 AD administrative review of carbon steel pipes from Thailand brought appeals from both the Thai producer and domestic producers, over how and whether the ITA should add duty drawback adjustments (which are granted by the exporting country on re-exported materials), to normal value and to the cost-of-production calculations that serve to eliminate below-cost sales from margin calculations. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the ITA did not err in granting a duty drawback adjustment, increasing export prices, and increasing the cost of production by the amount of the exempted duties. (See ITT’s Online Archives or 11/24/09 news, 09112440, for BP summary of earlier CIT decision) (Appeal Number 2010-1220, dated 02/14/11.)
