Who Qualifies for Manufacturing Drawback?
Whether you produce goods yourself or work with a third-party manufacturer, you may be eligible to recover duties through manufacturing duty drawback. Here's how it works for each model:
In-House Manufacturers
If your company owns and operates its own production facilities, you may qualify for manufacturing duty drawback—a powerful program that allows you to recover duties on imported inputs that are used to make goods which are later exported or destroyed.
Many of our clients also import and export finished goods alongside their manufacturing operations. That's why Pax is built to handle both manufacturing duty drawback and traditional importer/exporter drawback—so you can reclaim every eligible dollar across your entire supply chain.
From pharmaceuticals and food to industrial parts and beauty products, we work with in-house teams across industries to recover millions in duties every year.
Contract Manufacturers
If you're a contract manufacturer handling production on behalf of other brands, you may be sitting on millions in refundable duties without realizing it.
Many contract manufacturers import raw materials or components, then export the finished goods to fulfill client orders. Under U.S. Customs regulations, you're often eligible to claim manufacturing duty drawback—even if you don't own the final product.
We understand the complexity of contract manufacturing, including multiple clients, formulations, and SKU variations. That's why our platform is designed to simplify the process, even if you manufacture for dozens of brands.
