Import?

If you import, you’re paying duties.

Billions in U.S. duties go unclaimed each year. Too often, eligible companies miss out due to outdated systems and regulatory complexity. With rising tariffs, the stakes are higher, unlocking this hidden value starts with fresh expertise and advanced technology.

Export?

If you export, you may qualify for refunds.

Export activity opens the door to recovering duties, but fragmented data and complicated CBP rules can slow progress. Our platform brings clarity, integrating your import, export, ERP, and BOM data, automatically surfacing every refund opportunity and making compliance effortless.

Drawback.

Maximizing recoveries, powering growth

Drawback is where possibility becomes reality. Flexport unites cutting-edge automation with expert oversight, ensuring every eligible dollar is recovered quickly and accurately. The result: stronger cash flow and competitive advantage for businesses of any size or complexity.

  • Flexport already has all our data. At that point, it was a no-brainer to proceed with the duty drawback program and it took less than six months for the refunds to start flowing in. And this was after two years of spinning our wheels. It was fantastic!

Claiming a duty drawback refund helps companies reduce import costs, boost cash flow, and maximize trade profitability.
