Drawback.
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!

| Common Complaints about Drawback | Flexport’s Solution | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 𝗑 | Manual process. Drawback is highly dependent on manual spreadsheets, physical documents, and a lot of back-and-forth. | ✓ | Leveraging technology. Automated data collection, document ingestion and digitization, third-party data ingestion and validation, and claim generation where possible. |
| 𝗑 | Data needed is unreliable. Drawback often requires data cobbled together from various sources, resulting in lost revenue or disqualification from recovery. | ✓ | Quality data. Imports and other transactions performed with Flexport automatically produce granular data necessary to facilitate drawback recoveries. Flexport can also review and store data filed by other brokers. |
| 𝗑 | Little visibility to claim activity. It’s challenging to see past drawback claims and ensure all drawback opportunities are maximized. | ✓ | Access to your claims. Instant access anywhere and anytime to all drawback claims, claim data, and all supporting documentation on our platform. |
