The book
Duty Drawback, explained from the operations side
Raja Torain's guide to how duty drawback actually works: programme structure, the records that make a claim defensible, retention and timing, internal controls, and what it takes to organise and eventually self-manage a programme.
Who it is for
- Importers and exporters paying significant U.S. duty who suspect money is being left unclaimed.
- Finance, trade compliance and logistics leaders asked to evaluate or build a drawback programme.
- Teams already working with a provider who want to understand the records and controls behind their claims.
- Operators who want to bring drawback knowledge in-house and eventually self-manage.
