How it works

From your shipment records to a filed claim, in four steps.

Upload your records

Upload your import, export, and destruction records via CSV.

We match and calculate

Our matching engine pairs import entries against your exports and destructions and estimates what qualifies.

We prepare your claim

We assemble the claim package for your licensed customs broker to file with CBP.

You get paid, then we do

Once CBP actually refunds the duties and you record the receipt, we invoice our 20% contingency fee. Nothing upfront.

Built to be trusted with your customs data

DrawbackIQ is software, not a customs broker or law firm. Here is exactly how the relationship works.

Filed by your own broker

We prepare the claim package. Your licensed customs broker of record reviews and files it with CBP. We never file on your behalf.

Your data stays yours

Encrypted connections, hashed credentials, and session-based access control. Your shipment records are never sold or shared beyond preparing your claim.

Federal law, not a loophole

Duty drawback has been a standing U.S. Customs program since 1789, governed by 19 U.S.C. § 1313. It is simply under-claimed.

Contingency only.
No upfront cost.

We only get paid when you do. If we do not find a qualifying refund, you owe nothing. If we do, we take 20% of what is recovered, after your broker successfully files and CBP pays out.
