Duty Drawback

Don't leave money on the table. We specialize in maximizing your duty refunds on imported goods that were not consumed in Canada.

Are you paying customs duties on imported goods only to later export them, destroy them, or use them to manufacture a new, exported product? The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Duty Drawback Program is designed to give you that cash back—but navigating the rules and paperwork can be complex and time-consuming.

All Trade Customs Brokers makes it simple. Our expert customs consultants handle the entire process, identifying every eligible dollar and ensuring your claims are filed accurately and on time, maximizing your recovery.

Are You Eligible for a Duty Refund?

If your business has paid customs duties on imported goods that fall into one of the following three categories, you are very likely entitled to a full or partial refund:

1. Goods Exported (Drawback)

• The Scenario: You imported goods into Canada and paid the required customs duties, but later you exported those same goods out of the country, either in the same condition or after minor repairs/alterations.

• Your Refund: We help you reclaim up to 100% of the original duties paid.

2. Goods Destroyed or Rendered Valueless (Refund)

• The Scenario: You imported goods and paid duty, but the goods were later destroyed, damaged, or became useless (e.g., spoilage, becoming obsolete, damaged in transit) while still under customs control or before being used in Canada.

• Your Refund: We process the necessary documentation to recover duties on goods that were never used or consumed commercially in Canada.

3. Goods Used to Manufacture an Exported Item (End-Use Program)

• The Scenario: You imported materials, parts, or components, paid the duty, and then used them in a manufacturing process in Canada to create a new finished product that was subsequently exported.

• Your Refund: This is a crucial area for manufacturers. All Trade Customs Brokers ensures you recover the duties paid on the input materials used to create your exported goods, significantly reducing your cost of production.

Stop Leaving Money on the Table.

The window for filing a duty drawback claim is four years from the date of release for the imported goods. Don't let your refund eligibility expire!
