Earn recurring revenue by referring clients to duty drawback recovery
Customs brokers, freight forwarders, and 3PLs often decline client requests for duty drawback because manual filing doesn't scale at SMB volume. DrawbackIQ removes that barrier. Refer qualifying clients and earn 15 to 20 percent of recovery fees while your client relationship remains yours and your filing fee stays intact.
The Partnership Model
You keep: the client relationship, your normal customs brokerage filing fee, and full visibility into the claim. DrawbackIQ provides: the software to compute refunds, automated estimator, matching engine, claim package generation, and contingency invoice management. You earn: 15 to 20 percent of DrawbackIQ's recovery fees (20 percent of the refund amount by default).
How It Works
