How much duty can be recovered through drawback?

What sets your number:

• The share that left. Drawback covers only the goods exported or destroyed, or the products made from them.

• Which duties. Ordinary duty; Section 301, 122 and 338 duties; merchandise processing fees; and harbor maintenance tax can come back.

  Antidumping and countervailing duties can't, and Section 232 depends on the program.

• Caps. Substitution claims are capped at a lesser-of amount, and so are exports to Canada or Mexico, unless the goods leave in the same condition as imported.
• Time. Only imports from the last five years count.
• Records. Lines you can't support drop out.

After the fee: on a $1M lookback in Sealed, the fee is $175,000 and you keep $825,000; in Standard, the fee is $155,000 and you keep $845,000.

For a first figure, use the estimator. For a line-by-line figure, the first result from a quarter of your records shows an estimated claim.

The demo shows one on sample data, and the service opens to importers after launch.
