- │ EXPORTERS: POSSIBLE REBATE OF CUSTOMS DUTIES │
- └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- Companies that make export sales may in some cases be enti-
- tled to rebates of 99% of customs duties ("duty drawback")
- paid on items which were originally imported into the U.S.,
- even if they were imported by someone else. You can qualify
- for the rebate, if you bought such items and re-exported
- them, or, in some cases, incorporated such items into the
- products you exported. Most small exporters aren't even
- aware of this "gift" that they may be entitled to. Contact
- your nearest United States Customs Service office or a cus-
- toms broker for assistance in filing a claim for a rebate
- of such duties. Many customs brokers will handle the red
- tape in filing for such duty drawbacks for you, for a rela-
- tively modest percentage of the amount of the rebate ob-
- tained.

- @IF141xx]------------------------------------------------------------
- @IF141xx]Because your business does considerable export business, it
- @IF141xx]may be entitled to substantial duty drawbacks, as described
- @IF141xx]above. If you have not previously done so, look into the
- @IF141xx]possibility that you may qualify for this government subsidy
- @IF141xx]for exporters.
